The Fair Share Report

4 Beech Ave

Madison, NJ 07940

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $1,258,480

Likely range $1,110,837 – $1,588,410, 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%

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Madison pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
