A touch high — but not appeal-worthy

Above most of Monroe, but below NJ's legal appeal line (61.95%), where a case becomes winnable.

≈ $720,501

Likely range $545,370 – $886,035, from 12 comparable Monroe sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
