The Fair Share Report

3 First St

Wanaque, NJ 07465

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

≈ $560,000

Likely range $435,398 – $594,690, from 12 comparable Wanaque sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,440 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

54.41%

The state's official measure of how far Wanaque assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $560,000 home should be assessed near $304,696.

Step 3 · Assessed value
