The Fair Share Report

7 Second St

Barnegat, NJ 08005

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

≈ $389,394

Likely range $338,689 – $572,975, from 12 comparable Barnegat sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

55.17%

The state's official measure of how far Barnegat assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $389,394 home should be assessed near $214,829.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$182,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $32,629 below what the ratio math suggests (15.2%).

$3.082 per $100 assessed
