The two GAY BOWERS sales from June 2009 and September 2015 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the June 2009 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the September 2015 sale, where it rises to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.
