The Fair Share Report

235 Garside Ave

Wayne, NJ 07082

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

≈ $235,361

Likely range $220,000 – $267,341, from 12 comparable Wayne sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 520 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

35.82%

The state's official measure of how far Wayne assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $235,361 home should be assessed near $84,306.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$88,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $3,794 above what the ratio math suggests (4.5%).
