Wayne, NJ 07470

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

Likely range $878,451 – $1,249,003, from 12 comparable Wayne sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 3,288 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
