The Fair Share Report

385 Riverside Dr

Wayne, NJ 07470

The town adjusts for market price changes once a year — but only based on the average price change of all homes in the area. This report checks whether this house's assessment kept pace.

Good news — this home pays less than its share

Its assessment sits low relative to what homes like it actually sell for. An appeal would only invite a fresh look at a number working in the owner's favor.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $560,881

Likely range $415,981 – $641,993, from 12 comparable Wayne sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

35.82%

The state's official measure of how far Wayne assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $560,881 home should be assessed near $200,908.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$72,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $128,108 below what the ratio math suggests (63.8%).

$5.998 per $100 assessed
