The Fair Share Report

8 Ely Ave

Old Bridge, NJ 08879

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

≈ $588,422

Likely range $543,275 – $627,211, from 12 comparable Old Bridge sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

28.33%

The state's official measure of how far Old Bridge assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $588,422 home should be assessed near $166,700.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$149,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $16,800 below what the ratio math suggests (10.1%).
