The Fair Share Report

5 First St

Wanaque, NJ 07465

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

≈ $498,930

Likely range $475,903 – $518,878, from 12 comparable Wanaque sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

54.41%

The state's official measure of how far Wanaque assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $498,930 home should be assessed near $271,468.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$190,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $80,868 below what the ratio math suggests (29.8%).

$4.540 per $100 assessed

Keep quiet and enjoy it

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