The Fair Share Report

557 Devon St

Kearny, NJ 07110

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

≈ $1,016,321

Likely range $939,233 – $1,103,843, from 12 comparable Kearny sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 4,104 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

16.08%
