The Fair Share Report

515 Cedar Ave

Middle, NJ 08210

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

≈ $218,182

Likely range $150,583 – $244,634, from 12 comparable Middle sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 680 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

64.09%

The state's official measure of how far Middle assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $218,182 home should be assessed near $139,833.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$149,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $9,867 above what the ratio math suggests (7.1%).

$2.082 per $100 assessed

$1.150 Schools · 55% $0.309 County · 15% $0.623 Town · 30%
