The Fair Share Report

1024 E Commerce St

Fairfield, NJ 08302

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

≈ $187,500

Likely range $140,659 – $260,000, from 12 comparable Fairfield sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 960 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

83.33%

The state's official measure of how far Fairfield assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $187,500 home should be assessed near $156,244.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$126,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $29,744 below what the ratio math suggests (19.0%).
