The Fair Share Report

104 Eldredge Ave

Middle, NJ 08251

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

≈ $601,045

Likely range $524,708 – $723,441, from 12 comparable Middle sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,664 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 $601,045 home should be assessed near $385,210.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$324,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $60,410 below what the ratio math suggests (15.7%).
