The Fair Share Report

51 Maple Ave

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

≈ $1,021,788

Likely range $910,355 – $1,086,174, from 12 comparable Mendham sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

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 $1,021,788 home should be assessed near $733,746.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$595,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $137,846 below what the ratio math suggests (18.8%).
