WOODBANK 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 WOODBANK sales between April 2000 and May 2014 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 March 2003 sale was for 21% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% above the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it rises to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.
