The Fair Share Report

35 Sixth St

Dover, NJ 07801

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

≈ $485,397

Likely range $435,786 – $516,567, from 12 comparable Dover sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,507 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

61.38%

The state's official measure of how far Dover assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $485,397 home should be assessed near $297,937.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$223,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $74,937 below what the ratio math suggests (25.2%).
