SUMMERHILL 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 SUMMERHILL sales from December 2013 and October 2019 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 2013 sale was for 280% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 280% above the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it falls to 185% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 185% above the HPI.
