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

≈ $788,927

Likely range $736,363 – $893,007, 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 $788,927 home should be assessed near $788,848.

$743,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $45,748 below what the ratio math suggests (5.8%).
