39 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

≈ $665,373

Likely range $603,874 – $721,488, from 12 comparable Newark sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,635 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 $665,373 home should be assessed near $270,740.

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $100,240 below what the ratio math suggests (37.0%).
