The Fair Share Report

111 Applegate Ave

Monroe, NJ 08831

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

≈ $756,093

Likely range $721,272 – $992,732, from 12 comparable Monroe sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 3,096 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

53.87%

The state's official measure of how far Monroe assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $756,093 home should be assessed near $407,307.
