Madison, NJ 07940

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $2,179,173

Likely range $1,498,822 – $2,484,511, from 12 comparable Madison sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

60.22%

The state's official measure of how far Madison assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $2,179,173 home should be assessed near $1,312,298.
