The Fair Share Report

21 Lighthouse Dr

Brigantine, NJ 08055

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

≈ $545,089

Likely range $489,042 – $596,416, from 12 comparable Brigantine sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

52.07%

The state's official measure of how far Brigantine assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $545,089 home should be assessed near $283,828.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$209,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $74,828 below what the ratio math suggests (26.4%).
