The Fair Share Report

279 E Rd

Middletown, NJ 07701

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

≈ $626,902

Likely range $563,732 – $807,851, from 12 comparable Middletown sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

98.35%

The state's official measure of how far Middletown assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $626,902 home should be assessed near $616,558.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$359,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $256,958 below what the ratio math suggests (41.7%).

Keep quiet and enjoy it

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