28 Maple Ave

Mendham, NJ 07945

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.

≈ $1,384,161

Likely range $1,240,365 – $1,618,127, from 12 comparable Mendham sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 3,539 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

71.81%

The state's official measure of how far Mendham assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,384,161 home should be assessed near $993,966.
