COURTLAND 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 six COURTLAND sales between September 1997 and February 2023 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 2016 sale was for 92% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 92% above the HPI over time, until the February 2023 sale, where it falls to 91% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 91% above the HPI.
