The Fair Share Report

169 Devon St

Kearny, NJ 07032

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

≈ $852,617

Likely range $672,105 – $1,076,398, from 12 comparable Kearny sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

16.08%

The state's official measure of how far Kearny assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $852,617 home should be assessed near $137,101.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$154,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $17,599 above what the ratio math suggests (12.8%).
