The Fair Share Report

Old Bridge, NJ 08879

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

≈ $362,103

Likely range $332,191 – $444,041, from 12 comparable Old Bridge sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

28.33%

The state's official measure of how far Old Bridge assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $362,103 home should be assessed near $102,584.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$70,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $32,184 below what the ratio math suggests (31.4%).

Keep quiet and enjoy it

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