The Fair Share Report

418 Third St

Dunellen, NJ 08812

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

≈ $460,313

Likely range $384,862 – $521,569, from 12 comparable Dunellen sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

97.02%

The state's official measure of how far Dunellen assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $460,313 home should be assessed near $446,596.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$474,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $27,404 above what the ratio math suggests (6.1%).
