The Fair Share Report

88 Dock Ave

Ocean, 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

≈ $430,000

Likely range $420,000 – $565,456, from 12 comparable Ocean sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,344 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

92.47%

The state's official measure of how far Ocean assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $430,000 home should be assessed near $397,621.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$378,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $18,821 below what the ratio math suggests (4.7%).
