BACKWATER Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BACKWATER sales from April 2006 and March 2013 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 April 2006 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the March 2013 sale, where it falls to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.
