The Fair Share Report

244 E Broadway

Salem, NJ 08079

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

≈ $213,871

Likely range $169,151 – $307,362, from 12 comparable Salem sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 3,536 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

49.82%

The state's official measure of how far Salem assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $213,871 home should be assessed near $106,551.

$11,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $95,351 below what the ratio math suggests (89.5%).

Keep quiet and enjoy it

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