The Fair Share Report

4 First St

Wanaque, NJ 07465

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

≈ $447,964

Likely range $420,090 – $564,865, from 12 comparable Wanaque sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,760 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

54.41%

The state's official measure of how far Wanaque assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $447,964 home should be assessed near $243,737.
