The Fair Share Report

119 First Ave

Berkeley, NJ 08701

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

≈ $394,844

Likely range $317,873 – $422,552, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 950 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 $394,844 home should be assessed near $209,070.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$114,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $95,070 below what the ratio math suggests (45.5%).

Keep quiet and enjoy it

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