The Fair Share Report

141 78th St

Avalon, NJ 08035

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

≈ $3,256,736

Likely range $2,812,947 – $4,256,438, from 12 comparable Avalon sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

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 $3,256,736 home should be assessed near $1,767,756.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$2,247,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $480,144 above what the ratio math suggests (27.2%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Avalon home

$0.607 per $100 assessed

$0.032 Schools · 5% $0.313 County · 52% $0.262 Town · 43%
