540 E 3rd Ave

Roselle, NJ 07203

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $461,058

Likely range $391,304 – $481,479, from 12 comparable Roselle sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,080 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

28.06%

The state's official measure of how far Roselle assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $461,058 home should be assessed near $129,373.
