The Fair Share Report

8 Lindy Rd

Wayne, NJ 07470

The town adjusts for market price changes once a year — but only based on the average price change of all homes in the area. This report checks whether this house's assessment kept pace.

Good news — this home pays less than its share

Its assessment sits low relative to what homes like it actually sell for. An appeal would only invite a fresh look at a number working in the owner's favor.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $668,098

Likely range $565,232 – $706,805, from 12 comparable Wayne sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

35.82%
