The prices reflected on the Chart are not adjusted for inflation. Users of the Platform can opt to display varying ranges of time on the Chart’s horizontal axis, from one month to one year or longer to the extent such data are available. If multiple comparable asset sales occurred on a single day, the Chart provides an average for that day. By hovering over the points on the Chart, users can view price and date of sale represented by each point. The table below sets forth the data points plotted in the Chart.
