Somerville, NJ 08876

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

≈ $611,650

Likely range $543,343 – $698,595, from 12 comparable Somerville sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,785 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

58.80%

The state's official measure of how far Somerville assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $611,650 home should be assessed near $359,650.
