MERRYFIELD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Teignbridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MERRYFIELD sales from September 1999 and January 2016 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 1999 sale was for 260% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 260% above the HPI over time, until the January 2016 sale, where it falls to 174% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 174% above the HPI.
