The Fair Share Report

5 Risner Ave

Penns Grove, NJ 08052

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

≈ $126,699

Likely range $104,447 – $193,586, from 12 comparable Penns Grove sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

59.15%

The state's official measure of how far Penns Grove assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $126,699 home should be assessed near $74,942.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$60,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $14,542 below what the ratio math suggests (19.4%).
