The Fair Share Report

4 Stuart Ln

Wayne, NJ 07470

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

≈ $740,753

Likely range $701,585 – $807,817, 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 $740,753 home should be assessed near $265,338.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$207,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $57,838 below what the ratio math suggests (21.8%).
