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

≈ $514,700

Likely range $369,092 – $624,722, from 12 comparable Ocean sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,730 sq ft.

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 $514,700 home should be assessed near $475,943.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$305,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $170,143 below what the ratio math suggests (35.7%).
