The Fair Share Report

14 E Ave

Lawrence, NJ 08311

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

≈ $181,143

Likely range $128,889 – $200,800, from 12 comparable Lawrence sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 870 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

74.01%

The state's official measure of how far Lawrence assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $181,143 home should be assessed near $134,064.

$101,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $32,464 below what the ratio math suggests (24.2%).
