The Fair Share Report

116 Castleton Rd

Montgomery, NJ 08540

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

≈ $728,241

Likely range $673,470 – $746,448, from 12 comparable Montgomery sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

56.24%

The state's official measure of how far Montgomery assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $728,241 home should be assessed near $409,563.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$313,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $95,963 below what the ratio math suggests (23.4%).

Keep quiet and enjoy it

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