8 SHORT CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 SHORT CLOSE sales between June 2006 and October 2023 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 2015 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the October 2023 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.
