The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 WHIDBORNE CLOSE sales between December 1997 and July 2010 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the May 2006 sale was for 50% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% above the HPI over time, until the July 2010 sale, where it rises to 55% above the HPI.
