Emerson, NJ 07630

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

≈ $776,780

Likely range $714,512 – $818,165, from 12 comparable Emerson sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

66.48%

The state's official measure of how far Emerson assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $776,780 home should be assessed near $516,403.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$406,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $109,703 below what the ratio math suggests (21.2%).
