The Fair Share Report

536 Devon St

Lacey, NJ 08731

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

≈ $382,258

Likely range $320,000 – $402,000, from 12 comparable Lacey sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 960 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

60.11%

The state's official measure of how far Lacey assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $382,258 home should be assessed near $229,775.

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $98,675 below what the ratio math suggests (42.9%).

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Lacey pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
