The Fair Share Report

8 Keep St

Madison, NJ 07090

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

≈ $993,136

Likely range $783,276 – $1,238,236, from 12 comparable Madison sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

60.22%

The state's official measure of how far Madison assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $993,136 home should be assessed near $598,066.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$439,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $158,466 below what the ratio math suggests (26.5%).
