The Fair Share Report

6 Spring Ln

Byram, NJ 07869

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

≈ $565,284

Likely range $469,056 – $575,247, from 12 comparable Byram sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

58.12%

The state's official measure of how far Byram assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $565,284 home should be assessed near $328,543.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$255,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $73,343 below what the ratio math suggests (22.3%).
