The Fair Share Report

4 Brookside Rd

Netcong, NJ 07874

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

≈ $471,769

Likely range $412,721 – $515,900, from 12 comparable Netcong sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

69.53%

The state's official measure of how far Netcong assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $471,769 home should be assessed near $328,021.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$254,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $73,121 below what the ratio math suggests (22.3%).
