The Fair Share Report

22 Ave E

Monroe, NJ 08831

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

≈ $494,294

Likely range $460,666 – $565,504, from 12 comparable Monroe sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,796 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

53.87%
