HIGH PINES 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 three HIGH PINES sales between September 1996 and October 2014 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 February 2007 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it rises to 37% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% above the HPI.
