The Fair Share Report

212 E Ave

Bay Head, NJ 07960

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

≈ $2,129,061

Likely range $1,640,667 – $2,428,779, from 12 comparable Bay Head sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

56.09%

The state's official measure of how far Bay Head assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $2,129,061 home should be assessed near $1,194,190.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$2,495,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $1,301,610 above what the ratio math suggests (109.0%).
