The Fair Share Report

7 Robert St

Byram, NJ 07874

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

≈ $475,234

Likely range $429,743 – $512,332, 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 $475,234 home should be assessed near $276,206.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$227,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $49,106 below what the ratio math suggests (17.8%).
