HIGH VIEW 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 HIGH VIEW sales from January 2003 and April 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 January 2003 sale was for 60% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 60% above the HPI over time, until the April 2023 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.
