The Fair Share Report

21 Edwin Pl

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

≈ $456,695

Likely range $412,208 – $493,181, from 12 comparable Newark sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,266 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 $456,695 home should be assessed near $185,829.

$251,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $65,171 above what the ratio math suggests (35.1%).
