The Fair Share Report

331 Briar Patch

Mountainside, NJ 07092

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

≈ $1,123,026

Likely range $987,950 – $1,302,955, from 12 comparable Mountainside sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 3,150 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

71.29%

The state's official measure of how far Mountainside assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,123,026 home should be assessed near $800,605.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$627,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $173,005 below what the ratio math suggests (21.6%).
