Sparta, NJ 07871

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.

≈ $407,825

Likely range $372,520 – $464,278, from 12 comparable Sparta sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 976 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

59.82%
