KINGSLEY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two KINGSLEY COTTAGE sales from May 2005 and March 2007 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 May 2005 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the March 2007 sale, where it rises to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.
