The Fair Share Report

77 Scheerer Ave

Newark, NJ 07112

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

≈ $468,596

Likely range $406,043 – $519,646, from 12 comparable Newark sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,747 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 $468,596 home should be assessed near $190,672.

$131,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $58,872 below what the ratio math suggests (30.9%).
