SANTA CRUZ 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 SANTA CRUZ sales from December 2006 and March 2022 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 December 2006 sale was for 30% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% above the HPI over time, until the March 2022 sale, where it falls to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.
