THE FIRS 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 four THE FIRS sales between August 2001 and February 2021 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 November 2008 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it falls to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.
