The Fair Share Report

261 E 3rd Ave

Roselle, NJ 07203

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

≈ $570,203

Likely range $517,447 – $655,086, from 12 comparable Roselle sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,328 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

28.06%

The state's official measure of how far Roselle assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $570,203 home should be assessed near $159,999.
