The Fair Share Report

53 Ryan Rd

Wantage, NJ 07461

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

≈ $712,374

Likely range $646,608 – $796,652, from 12 comparable Wantage sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 3,288 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

64.60%

The state's official measure of how far Wantage assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $712,374 home should be assessed near $460,194.
