The Fair Share Report

24 Third St

Somerville, NJ 08807

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

≈ $575,000

Likely range $495,000 – $651,000, from 12 comparable Somerville sales in the past 18 months.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

58.80%

The state's official measure of how far Somerville assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $575,000 home should be assessed near $338,100.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$155,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $182,700 below what the ratio math suggests (54.0%).

Keep quiet and enjoy it

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