Berkeley, NJ 08752

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

≈ $986,778

Likely range $644,672 – $1,059,122, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,941 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 $986,778 home should be assessed near $522,499.
