The Fair Share Report

2 Berkeley Pl

Berkeley, NJ 08721

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

≈ $494,807

Likely range $467,729 – $516,671, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,812 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 $494,807 home should be assessed near $262,000.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$237,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $24,300 below what the ratio math suggests (9.3%).

$2.590 per $100 assessed

$1.213 Schools · 47% $0.582 County · 22% $0.795 Town · 31%
