The Fair Share Report

14 Fairfield Rd

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

≈ $370,000

Likely range $335,000 – $434,900, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,514 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 $370,000 home should be assessed near $195,915.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$199,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $3,585 above what the ratio math suggests (1.8%).
