Emerson, NJ 07630

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

≈ $730,723

Likely range $664,751 – $867,013, from 12 comparable Emerson sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

66.48%

The state's official measure of how far Emerson assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $730,723 home should be assessed near $485,785.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$386,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $99,385 below what the ratio math suggests (20.5%).
