479 BABBACOMBE ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 479 BABBACOMBE ROAD sales between December 2001 and January 2006 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the March 2003 sale was for 68% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 68% above the HPI over time, until the January 2006 sale, where it falls to 49% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% above the HPI.
