BAY TREE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four BAY TREE COTTAGE sales between April 1996 and September 2017 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 June 2011 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.
