The Fair Share Report

127 Garrison Ave

Downe, NJ 08321

≈ $208,373

Likely range $207,600 – $298,727, from 12 comparable Downe sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 890 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

78.40%

Keep quiet and enjoy it

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