The Fair Share Report

178 Aster Ct

Readington, NJ 08889

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

≈ $541,824

Likely range $249,685 – $596,186, from 12 comparable Readington sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

69.43%

The state's official measure of how far Readington assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $541,824 home should be assessed near $376,188.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$300,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $76,188 below what the ratio math suggests (20.3%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Readington home

$2.798 per $100 assessed

$1.708 Schools · 61% $0.506 County · 18% $0.584 Town · 21%
