RIDGWOOD 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 RIDGWOOD sales between August 1996 and March 2006 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 November 2003 sale was for 75% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 75% above the HPI over time, until the March 2006 sale, where it falls to 64% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 64% above the HPI.
