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

≈ $461,644

Likely range $429,625 – $494,675, from 12 comparable Old Bridge sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

28.33%

The state's official measure of how far Old Bridge assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $461,644 home should be assessed near $130,784.

$125,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $5,684 below what the ratio math suggests (4.3%).
