The Fair Share Report

126 Eagle Dr

Emerson, NJ 07630

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

≈ $761,344

Likely range $692,608 – $818,428, from 12 comparable Emerson sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

66.48%

The state's official measure of how far Emerson assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $761,344 home should be assessed near $506,141.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$392,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $113,741 below what the ratio math suggests (22.5%).
