The Fair Share Report

102 E 3rd St

Ship Bottom, NJ 08109

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

≈ $3,129,022

Likely range $2,648,876 – $3,551,668, from 10 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 $3,129,022 home should be assessed near $1,661,198.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,274,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $387,198 below what the ratio math suggests (23.3%).
