TAMARISK 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 four TAMARISK sales between July 1997 and March 2021 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 June 2007 sale was for 65% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 65% above the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it rises to 105% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 105% above the HPI.
