The Fair Share Report

124 Patton Ave

Berkeley, NJ 08741

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

≈ $314,294

Likely range $259,490 – $409,255, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,098 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 $314,294 home should be assessed near $166,419.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$207,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $40,581 above what the ratio math suggests (24.4%).
