This home's payments are about right

It sits inside Wayne's normal range — market price changes haven't singled it out. No case for a tax appeal.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $680,323

Likely range $533,353 – $745,978, 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 $680,323 home should be assessed near $243,692.

$203,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $40,292 below what the ratio math suggests (16.5%).
