The Fair Share Report

867 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

≈ $837,622

Likely range $660,610 – $1,057,701, 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 $837,622 home should be assessed near $134,690.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$163,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $28,310 above what the ratio math suggests (21.0%).
