The Fair Share Report

136 Millbrook Rd

Hardwick, NJ 07825

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

≈ $444,155

Likely range $368,089 – $528,519, from 12 comparable Hardwick sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

52.97%

The state's official measure of how far Hardwick assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $444,155 home should be assessed near $235,269.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$177,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $57,869 below what the ratio math suggests (24.6%).
