ROCK EDGE 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 two ROCK EDGE sales from July 1995 and March 1997 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 July 1995 sale was for 186% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 186% above the HPI over time, until the March 1997 sale, where it rises to 214% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 214% above the HPI.
