The Fair Share Report

175 3rd St

Newark, NJ 07107

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

≈ $529,632

Likely range $384,791 – $635,000, from 12 comparable Newark sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,930 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 $529,632 home should be assessed near $215,507.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$128,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $87,507 below what the ratio math suggests (40.6%).
