The Fair Share Report

9 Long Ave

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

≈ $388,652

Likely range $260,656 – $463,365, 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 $388,652 home should be assessed near $94,559.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$100,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $5,541 above what the ratio math suggests (5.9%).
