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

≈ $574,177

Likely range $520,388 – $745,500, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,016 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

52.95%
