The Fair Share Report

476 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

≈ $957,886

Likely range $755,087 – $1,209,295, 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 $957,886 home should be assessed near $154,028.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$178,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $24,372 above what the ratio math suggests (15.8%).
