The Fair Share Report

3 Third Ave

Wanaque, NJ 07420

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

≈ $476,790

Likely range $456,542 – $490,756, from 12 comparable Wanaque sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

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 $476,790 home should be assessed near $259,421.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$172,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $86,521 below what the ratio math suggests (33.4%).

Keep quiet and enjoy it

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