The Fair Share Report

6 Pine Ave

Madison, NJ 07940

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

≈ $1,267,594

Likely range $1,128,451 – $1,599,631, from 12 comparable Madison sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

60.22%

The state's official measure of how far Madison assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,267,594 home should be assessed near $763,345.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$614,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $148,845 below what the ratio math suggests (19.5%).
