The Fair Share Report

108 Eighth St

Salem, NJ 08085

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

≈ $102,123

Likely range $64,047 – $111,052, from 12 comparable Salem sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,478 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

49.82%

The state's official measure of how far Salem assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $102,123 home should be assessed near $50,878.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$36,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $14,178 below what the ratio math suggests (27.9%).
