The Fair Share Report

18 Hamilton 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

≈ $775,318

Likely range $709,902 – $818,185, 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 $775,318 home should be assessed near $277,719.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$236,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $41,019 below what the ratio math suggests (14.8%).
