The Fair Share Report

320 E Ave

Bay Head, NJ 07724

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

≈ $6,388,458

Likely range $4,556,263 – $8,369,614, from 11 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 $6,388,458 home should be assessed near $3,583,286.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$3,470,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $112,386 below what the ratio math suggests (3.1%).

$1.104 per $100 assessed

$0.251 Schools · 23% $0.576 County · 52% $0.277 Town · 25%
