The Fair Share Report

1 Marathon St

Berkeley, NJ 08757

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

≈ $283,894

Likely range $226,544 – $329,629, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,027 sq ft.

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 $283,894 home should be assessed near $150,322.

$151,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $878 above what the ratio math suggests (0.6%).
