The five 34 TORTOISESHELL WAY sales between December 1995 and November 2022 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the August 2012 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI.
