The Fair Share Report

210 Smith St

Salem, NJ 08079

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

≈ $115,697

Likely range $86,256 – $214,332, from 12 comparable Salem sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,378 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

49.82%

The state's official measure of how far Salem assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $115,697 home should be assessed near $57,640.

$38,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $18,940 below what the ratio math suggests (32.9%).
