The Fair Share Report

8 Pine Ave

Madison, NJ 07940

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

≈ $1,406,946

Likely range $1,046,097 – $1,723,458, 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 $1,406,946 home should be assessed near $847,263.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$740,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $106,663 below what the ratio math suggests (12.6%).
