The Fair Share Report

4 Argyle Rd

Montclair, NJ 07043

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

≈ $1,020,035

Likely range $914,148 – $1,244,256, from 12 comparable Montclair sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,680 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

56.26%

The state's official measure of how far Montclair assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,020,035 home should be assessed near $573,872.
