The Fair Share Report

134 Third St

Dunellen, NJ 08812

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

≈ $440,827

Likely range $330,424 – $468,816, from 12 comparable Dunellen sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

97.02%

The state's official measure of how far Dunellen assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $440,827 home should be assessed near $427,690.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$393,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $33,790 below what the ratio math suggests (7.9%).
