The Fair Share Report

8 Maple St

Chatham, NJ 07928

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

≈ $1,389,887

Likely range $1,346,502 – $1,921,422, from 12 comparable Chatham sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

83.67%

The state's official measure of how far Chatham assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,389,887 home should be assessed near $1,162,918.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,280,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $117,782 above what the ratio math suggests (10.1%).
