The Fair Share Report

342 E Broadway

Salem, NJ 08070

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

≈ $97,008

Likely range $84,128 – $185,664, from 12 comparable Salem sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,344 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

49.82%

The state's official measure of how far Salem assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $97,008 home should be assessed near $48,329.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$33,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $15,029 below what the ratio math suggests (31.1%).

$8.627 per $100 assessed

$2.297 Schools · 27% $2.023 County · 23% $4.308 Town · 50%
