DOWNLEIGH 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 two DOWNLEIGH sales from November 2007 and May 2016 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 November 2007 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.
