The Fair Share Report

143 Scheerer Ave

Newark, NJ 07112

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

≈ $573,503

Likely range $480,040 – $709,383, from 12 comparable Newark sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,298 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

40.69%

The state's official measure of how far Newark assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $573,503 home should be assessed near $233,358.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$156,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $77,258 below what the ratio math suggests (33.1%).
