The Fair Share Report

237 E Main St

Prospect Park, NJ 07508

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

≈ $317,734

Likely range $265,122 – $402,035, from 12 comparable Prospect Park sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

40.50%

The state's official measure of how far Prospect Park assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $317,734 home should be assessed near $128,682.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$115,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $13,382 below what the ratio math suggests (10.4%).

$6.231 per $100 assessed

$2.988 Schools · 48% $1.031 County · 17% $2.212 Town · 35%
