The Fair Share Report

6 Second St

Chatham, NJ 07928

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

≈ $1,544,516

Likely range $1,308,009 – $1,878,358, from 12 comparable Chatham sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

83.67%

The state's official measure of how far Chatham assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,544,516 home should be assessed near $1,292,297.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,225,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $66,997 below what the ratio math suggests (5.2%).
