The Fair Share Report

16 Lake Rd

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

≈ $739,355

Likely range $638,215 – $876,742, from 12 comparable Wayne sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

35.82%

The state's official measure of how far Wayne assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $739,355 home should be assessed near $264,837.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$152,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $112,337 below what the ratio math suggests (42.4%).

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Wayne pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
