The Fair Share Report

102 E 27th St

Ship Bottom, NJ 08057

The town corrects for market drift once a year — but only on average. This report measures whether this house drifted with the herd or away from it.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $871,119

Likely range $678,980 – $1,135,415, from 12 comparable Ship Bottom sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

53.09%

The state's official measure of how far Ship Bottom assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $871,119 home should be assessed near $462,477.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$393,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $68,877 below what the ratio math suggests (14.9%).
