The Fair Share Report

3948 First Ave

Avalon, NJ 08033

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

≈ $3,855,453

Likely range $2,977,099 – $4,379,100, from 12 comparable Avalon sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

54.28%

The state's official measure of how far Avalon assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $3,855,453 home should be assessed near $2,092,740.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$2,453,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $360,560 above what the ratio math suggests (17.2%).

$0.607 per $100 assessed

$0.032 Schools · 5% $0.313 County · 52% $0.262 Town · 43%
