The Fair Share Report

595 Valley Rd

Wayne, NJ 07470

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

≈ $763,871

Likely range $695,482 – $838,482, from 12 comparable Wayne sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

35.82%

The state's official measure of how far Wayne assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $763,871 home should be assessed near $273,619.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$196,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $77,219 below what the ratio math suggests (28.2%).
