Sparta, NJ 07871

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

≈ $610,202

Likely range $514,835 – $879,958, from 12 comparable Sparta sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,276 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

59.82%

The state's official measure of how far Sparta assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $610,202 home should be assessed near $365,023.
