The Fair Share Report

2 Maple Ave

Mendham, NJ 07945

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

≈ $647,178

Likely range $635,111 – $818,295, from 12 comparable Mendham sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

71.81%

The state's official measure of how far Mendham assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $647,178 home should be assessed near $464,739.

$333,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $131,239 below what the ratio math suggests (28.2%).

Keep quiet and enjoy it

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