EMBEMERE 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 EMBEMERE sales between October 2003 and November 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 September 2021 sale was for 203% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 203% above the HPI over time, until the November 2023 sale, where it falls to 186% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 186% above the HPI.
