40 E 13th St

Avalon, NJ 08057

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

≈ $4,384,232

Likely range $3,970,552 – $4,865,152, from 12 comparable Avalon sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 3,522 sq ft.

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 $4,384,232 home should be assessed near $2,379,761.

$2,671,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $291,739 above what the ratio math suggests (12.3%).
