The Fair Share Report

710 High St

Alpha, NJ 08865

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

≈ $298,231

Likely range $270,592 – $384,973, from 12 comparable Alpha sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,371 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

63.67%

The state's official measure of how far Alpha assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $298,231 home should be assessed near $189,884.

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $13,984 below what the ratio math suggests (7.4%).
