THE OLD SMITHY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE OLD SMITHY sales from December 2002 and August 2010 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 2002 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the August 2010 sale, where it rises to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.
