The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 18 THE CLOSE sales between March 2004 and July 2019 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 2016 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, which was also at 4% above the HPI.
