The Fair Share Report

6 Devore Dr

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

≈ $776,002

Likely range $707,777 – $878,526, 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 $776,002 home should be assessed near $775,924.

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $226,524 below what the ratio math suggests (29.2%).
