The Fair Share Report

9 Maple Rd

Byram, NJ 07821

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

≈ $510,424

Likely range $440,106 – $548,960, from 12 comparable Byram sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

58.12%

The state's official measure of how far Byram assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $510,424 home should be assessed near $296,658.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$256,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $39,858 below what the ratio math suggests (13.4%).
