Emerson, NJ 07630

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

≈ $695,863

Likely range $618,618 – $753,442, from 12 comparable Emerson sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

66.48%

The state's official measure of how far Emerson assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $695,863 home should be assessed near $462,610.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$343,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $118,710 below what the ratio math suggests (25.7%).
