232 Twenty Third Ave

Berkeley, NJ 08752

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $637,451

Likely range $438,975 – $786,048, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,164 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 $637,451 home should be assessed near $337,530.
