The town adjusts for market price changes once a year — but only based on the average price change of all homes in the area. This report checks whether this house's assessment kept pace.
This home's payments are about right
It sits inside Berkeley's normal range — market price changes haven't singled it out. No case for a tax appeal.
Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $206,319 – $324,710, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,121 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Berkeley assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $265,000 home should be assessed near $140,318.
