The Fair Share Report

701 Ter Dr

Paramus, NJ 07660

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

≈ $912,201

Likely range $825,000 – $1,259,773, from 12 comparable Paramus sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,000 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

93.30%

The state's official measure of how far Paramus assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $912,201 home should be assessed near $851,084.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$2,387,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $1,536,116 above what the ratio math suggests (180.5%).
