The Fair Share Report

270 Devon Rd

Tenafly, NJ 07670

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

≈ $957,228

Likely range $753,940 – $1,164,122, from 12 comparable Tenafly sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

64.25%

The state's official measure of how far Tenafly assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $957,228 home should be assessed near $615,019.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$987,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $372,381 above what the ratio math suggests (60.5%).
