The Fair Share Report

3 Smith St

Hampton, NJ 08827

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

≈ $315,000

Likely range $150,000 – $350,000, from 5 comparable Hampton sales in the past 18 months.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

67.80%

The state's official measure of how far Hampton assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $315,000 home should be assessed near $213,570.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$155,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $57,870 below what the ratio math suggests (27.1%).
