The Fair Share Report

114 E 14th St

Ship Bottom, NJ 08053

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

≈ $883,636

Likely range $690,399 – $1,040,549, 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 $883,636 home should be assessed near $469,122.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$500,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $31,178 above what the ratio math suggests (6.6%).
