The Fair Share Report

72 Eastern Way

Rutherford, NJ 07070

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

≈ $649,624

Likely range $549,249 – $711,048, from 12 comparable Rutherford sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

66.39%

The state's official measure of how far Rutherford assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $649,624 home should be assessed near $431,285.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$416,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $14,885 below what the ratio math suggests (3.5%).
