The Fair Share Report

9 Dod Pl

Hillside, NJ 07205

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

≈ $497,822

Likely range $407,718 – $575,587, from 12 comparable Hillside sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

24.33%

The state's official measure of how far Hillside assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $497,822 home should be assessed near $121,120.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$102,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $18,920 below what the ratio math suggests (15.6%).
