62 Eighth St

Salem, NJ 08079

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

≈ $141,058

Likely range $113,105 – $203,215, from 12 comparable Salem sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,797 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

49.82%
