Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $99,379 – $190,893, from 12 comparable Salem sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,152 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Salem assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $118,000 home should be assessed near $58,788.
