The Fair Share Report

35 E Spring St

Somerville, NJ 08876

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

≈ $539,000

Likely range $445,000 – $601,000, from 12 comparable Somerville sales in the past 18 months.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

58.80%

The state's official measure of how far Somerville assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $539,000 home should be assessed near $316,932.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$283,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $33,732 below what the ratio math suggests (10.6%).

$4.078 per $100 assessed

$2.388 Schools · 59% $0.552 County · 14% $1.138 Town · 28%
