The Fair Share Report

22 Spring Rd

Jefferson, NJ 07849

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

≈ $429,477

Likely range $390,489 – $475,639, from 12 comparable Jefferson sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

69.72%

The state's official measure of how far Jefferson assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $429,477 home should be assessed near $299,431.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$193,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $106,331 below what the ratio math suggests (35.5%).

Keep quiet and enjoy it

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