≈ $3,187,461

Likely range $2,510,406 – $3,524,749, from 12 comparable Avalon sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,342 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

54.28%

The state's official measure of how far Avalon assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $3,187,461 home should be assessed near $1,730,154.
