MYRTLE COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MYRTLE COTTAGE sales from March 1997 and April 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 March 1997 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the April 2018 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.
