The Fair Share Report

58 Lowe 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

≈ $454,289

Likely range $425,885 – $495,316, from 12 comparable Wantage sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

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 $454,289 home should be assessed near $293,471.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$260,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $32,671 below what the ratio math suggests (11.1%).
