The Fair Share Report

9 Hansom Rd

Bernards, NJ 07920

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

≈ $1,150,104

Likely range $1,094,925 – $1,384,679, from 12 comparable Bernards sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

95.12%

The state's official measure of how far Bernards assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,150,104 home should be assessed near $1,093,979.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,081,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $12,279 below what the ratio math suggests (1.1%).

$1.687 per $100 assessed
