The Fair Share Report

48 Second St

Dover, NJ 07801

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

≈ $394,200

Likely range $320,339 – $436,747, from 12 comparable Dover sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 864 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

61.38%

The state's official measure of how far Dover assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $394,200 home should be assessed near $241,960.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$127,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $114,560 below what the ratio math suggests (47.3%).

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Dover pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
