LITTLECOMBE 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 LITTLECOMBE sales between August 2012 and February 2018 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 April 2015 sale was for 76% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 76% above the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it falls to 57% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 57% above the HPI.
