This home's payments are about right

It sits inside Montclair's normal range — market price changes haven't singled it out. No case for a tax appeal.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $1,652,306

Likely range $1,379,608 – $2,104,835, from 12 comparable Montclair sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

56.26%

The state's official measure of how far Montclair assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,652,306 home should be assessed near $929,587.

$888,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $40,787 below what the ratio math suggests (4.4%).
