The Fair Share Report

12 Twenty Second Ave

Berkeley, NJ 08752

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $297,781

Likely range $233,384 – $778,114, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 884 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 $297,781 home should be assessed near $157,675.
