The Fair Share Report

280 Eldon Ct

Ridgewood, NJ 07450

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

≈ $853,409

Likely range $677,922 – $1,019,825, from 12 comparable Ridgewood sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

60.52%

The state's official measure of how far Ridgewood assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $853,409 home should be assessed near $516,483.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$483,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $32,783 below what the ratio math suggests (6.3%).

$2.889 per $100 assessed

$1.801 Schools · 62% $0.347 County · 12% $0.742 Town · 26%
