The Fair Share Report

91 Wright St

Newark, NJ 07114

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

≈ $421,366

Likely range $360,866 – $452,839, from 12 comparable Newark sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

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 $421,366 home should be assessed near $171,454.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$91,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $79,754 below what the ratio math suggests (46.5%).

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Newark pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
