The Fair Share Report

105 Eagle Dr

Emerson, NJ 07630

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

≈ $795,058

Likely range $757,331 – $900,657, from 12 comparable Emerson sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

66.48%

The state's official measure of how far Emerson assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $795,058 home should be assessed near $528,555.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$452,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $75,855 below what the ratio math suggests (14.4%).
