The Fair Share Report

5 Pine St

Monroe, NJ 08831

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

≈ $704,960

Likely range $636,450 – $750,000, from 12 comparable Monroe sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,238 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

53.87%

The state's official measure of how far Monroe assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $704,960 home should be assessed near $379,762.

$401,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $21,838 above what the ratio math suggests (5.8%).
