The Fair Share Report

1 Cedarcrest Dr

Berkeley, NJ 08721

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

≈ $704,472

Likely range $496,739 – $910,611, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

52.95%

The state's official measure of how far Berkeley assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $704,472 home should be assessed near $373,018.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$388,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $14,982 above what the ratio math suggests (4.0%).

Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Berkeley home

$2.590 per $100 assessed

$1.213 Schools · 47% $0.582 County · 22% $0.795 Town · 31%

Step 5 · The bill

$10,049/yr
Public schools$4,706

Paying about right

This home's ratio lands inside Berkeley's normal band. The drift hasn't singled it out — no case for a tax appeal.
