The Fair Share Report

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

≈ $700,554

Likely range $609,161 – $863,425, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,529 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 $700,554 home should be assessed near $370,943.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$342,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $28,143 below what the ratio math suggests (7.6%).

$2.590 per $100 assessed

$1.213 Schools · 47% $0.582 County · 22% $0.795 Town · 31%
