The Fair Share Report

11 Elycroft Ave E

Rockaway, NJ 07866

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

≈ $563,333

Likely range $521,574 – $628,889, from 12 comparable Rockaway sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

67.26%

The state's official measure of how far Rockaway assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $563,333 home should be assessed near $378,898.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$257,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $120,998 below what the ratio math suggests (31.9%).

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Rockaway pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
