The Fair Share Report

341 E Ave

Bay Head, NJ 08867

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

≈ $2,209,171

Likely range $1,530,790 – $2,519,219, 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 $2,209,171 home should be assessed near $1,239,124.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$3,344,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $2,105,376 above what the ratio math suggests (169.9%).
