The Fair Share Report

92 Third St

Somerville, NJ 08876

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

≈ $510,000

Likely range $415,000 – $675,000, from 12 comparable Somerville sales in the past 18 months.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

58.80%

The state's official measure of how far Somerville assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $510,000 home should be assessed near $299,880.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$170,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $129,080 below what the ratio math suggests (43.0%).

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Somerville pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
