The Fair Share Report

880 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

≈ $293,799

Likely range $211,974 – $338,522, from 12 comparable Alpha sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,074 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 $293,799 home should be assessed near $187,062.

$147,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $39,362 below what the ratio math suggests (21.0%).
