West Orange, NJ 07052

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

≈ $551,276

Likely range $504,488 – $766,186, from 12 comparable West Orange sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

99.99%

The state's official measure of how far West Orange assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $551,276 home should be assessed near $551,221.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$499,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $51,721 below what the ratio math suggests (9.4%).
