The Fair Share Report

148 Garside Ave

Wayne, NJ 07470

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

≈ $574,397

Likely range $503,956 – $602,293, from 12 comparable Wayne sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,548 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

35.82%
