The Fair Share Report

45 E Main St

Mendham, NJ 07945

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

≈ $835,084

Likely range $722,546 – $1,060,994, from 12 comparable Mendham sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

71.81%

The state's official measure of how far Mendham assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $835,084 home should be assessed near $599,674.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$456,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $142,974 below what the ratio math suggests (23.8%).
