42 ORKNEY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The six 42 ORKNEY CLOSE sales between November 1998 and June 2018 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 2013 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the June 2018 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 42 ORKNEY CLOSE be worth now?
