38 WORDSWORTH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 38 WORDSWORTH CLOSE sales from June 1996 and September 2004 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 1996 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the September 2004 sale, where it rises to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.
