The Fair Share Report

36 Rt 521

Hampton, NJ 07860

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

≈ $692,239

Likely range $534,283 – $758,585, from 12 comparable Hampton sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,846 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

52.94%
