The Fair Share Report

8 Maple St

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

≈ $801,829

Likely range $596,350 – $851,504, 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 $801,829 home should be assessed near $532,334.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$407,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $125,134 below what the ratio math suggests (23.5%).
