The Fair Share Report

413 John St

Hillside, NJ 07205

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

≈ $337,383

Likely range $256,044 – $395,591, from 12 comparable Hillside sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

24.33%

The state's official measure of how far Hillside assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $337,383 home should be assessed near $82,085.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$113,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $31,415 above what the ratio math suggests (38.3%).

$8.899 per $100 assessed
