The Fair Share Report

23 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

≈ $242,500

Likely range $220,000 – $275,220, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,092 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 $242,500 home should be assessed near $128,404.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$97,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $31,304 below what the ratio math suggests (24.4%).
