WHISPERING PINES 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 WHISPERING PINES sales between April 1997 and August 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 July 2012 sale was for 150% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 150% above the HPI over time, until the August 2022 sale, where it falls to 134% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 134% above the HPI.
