The Fair Share Report

41 First St

Milltown, NJ 08850

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

≈ $494,805

Likely range $415,799 – $699,671, from 12 comparable Milltown sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

32.99%

The state's official measure of how far Milltown assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $494,805 home should be assessed near $163,236.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$145,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $17,736 below what the ratio math suggests (10.9%).
