The Fair Share Report

129 Knickerbocker Rd

Demarest, NJ 07627

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

≈ $1,263,518

Likely range $1,194,487 – $1,566,138, from 12 comparable Demarest sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,600 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

101.41%

The state's official measure of how far Demarest assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,263,518 home should be assessed near $1,281,334.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,101,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $180,334 below what the ratio math suggests (14.1%).

$1.805 per $100 assessed
