The Fair Share Report

121 Lighthouse Dr

Ocean, NJ 08758

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

≈ $528,947

Likely range $505,932 – $554,929, from 12 comparable Ocean sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

92.47%

The state's official measure of how far Ocean assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $528,947 home should be assessed near $489,117.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$398,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $91,017 below what the ratio math suggests (18.6%).

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Ocean pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
