The Fair Share Report

20 Marathon St

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

≈ $375,000

Likely range $322,000 – $425,000, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,440 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 $375,000 home should be assessed near $198,563.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$128,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $69,963 below what the ratio math suggests (35.2%).

$2.590 per $100 assessed

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

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Berkeley pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
