470 Cherry Ln

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

≈ $1,419,113

Likely range $1,323,360 – $1,735,825, from 12 comparable Mendham sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 4,049 sq ft.

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 $1,419,113 home should be assessed near $1,019,065.

$1,300,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $280,935 above what the ratio math suggests (27.6%).
