The Fair Share Report

37 Pine Ave

Madison, NJ 07940

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

≈ $1,304,366

Likely range $925,872 – $1,410,648, from 12 comparable Madison sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

60.22%

The state's official measure of how far Madison assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,304,366 home should be assessed near $785,489.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$599,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $186,389 below what the ratio math suggests (23.7%).

$2.254 per $100 assessed

$1.423 Schools · 63% $0.350 County · 16% $0.481 Town · 21%
