Berkeley, NJ 08844

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

≈ $503,397

Likely range $471,014 – $758,333, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 780 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 $503,397 home should be assessed near $266,549.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$339,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $72,751 above what the ratio math suggests (27.3%).
