WENTWORTH 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 three WENTWORTH sales between June 1997 and February 2016 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 February 2002 sale was for 206% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 206% above the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it falls to 80% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 80% above the HPI.
