The Fair Share Report

104 Central Ave

Middle, NJ 08210

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

≈ $422,214

Likely range $372,650 – $464,077, from 12 comparable Middle sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,542 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

64.09%

The state's official measure of how far Middle assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $422,214 home should be assessed near $270,597.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$227,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $43,297 below what the ratio math suggests (16.0%).
