Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $624,701 – $700,833, from 12 comparable Wayne sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,089 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Wayne assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $648,950 home should be assessed near $232,454.
