Lavallette, NJ 08758

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

≈ $1,590,938

Likely range $1,266,823 – $1,684,119, from 12 comparable Lavallette sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

55.31%

The state's official measure of how far Lavallette assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,590,938 home should be assessed near $879,948.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,442,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $562,052 above what the ratio math suggests (63.9%).
