The Fair Share Report

623 E Ave

Bay Head, NJ 08540

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

≈ $8,043,393

Likely range $6,048,685 – $9,219,040, from 6 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 $8,043,393 home should be assessed near $4,511,539.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$5,068,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $557,361 above what the ratio math suggests (12.4%).
