The Fair Share Report

65 Lenox Ave

Demarest, NJ 07627

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

≈ $941,298

Likely range $841,442 – $1,014,773, from 12 comparable Demarest sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,645 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

101.41%

The state's official measure of how far Demarest assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $941,298 home should be assessed near $954,570.

$884,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $69,870 below what the ratio math suggests (7.3%).
