The Fair Share Report

116 Eighth St

Salem, NJ 08079

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

≈ $91,053

Likely range $62,573 – $108,497, from 12 comparable Salem sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,444 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 $91,053 home should be assessed near $45,363.

$28,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $16,663 below what the ratio math suggests (36.7%).
