The Fair Share Report

25 Beech St

Byram, NJ 07874

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

≈ $486,188

Likely range $461,350 – $523,231, from 12 comparable Byram sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,802 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

58.12%

The state's official measure of how far Byram assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $486,188 home should be assessed near $282,572.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$293,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $10,728 above what the ratio math suggests (3.8%).
