The Fair Share Report

146 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

≈ $400,197

Likely range $307,240 – $486,052, from 12 comparable Newark sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,388 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 $400,197 home should be assessed near $162,840.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$220,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $57,160 above what the ratio math suggests (35.1%).

$3.999 per $100 assessed

$1.162 Schools · 29% $0.519 County · 13% $2.318 Town · 58%

A touch high — worth watching

This home's ratio sits above most of Newark, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (46.79%).
