Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $84,544 – $265,325, from 12 comparable Salem sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Salem assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $144,161 home should be assessed near $71,821.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $1,479 above what the ratio math suggests (2.1%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Salem home
$2.297 Schools · 27% $2.023 County · 23% $4.308 Town · 50%
Step 5 · The bill
This home vs. every recent Salem sale · assessed ÷ market

Paying about right
This home's ratio lands inside Salem's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
