MERRIMEAD 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 two MERRIMEAD sales from June 1996 and February 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 June 1996 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it rises to 128% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 128% above the HPI.
