The Fair Share Report

27 Gerald Pl

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

≈ $433,770

Likely range $346,338 – $487,200, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,344 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 $433,770 home should be assessed near $229,681.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$263,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $33,419 above what the ratio math suggests (14.6%).

A touch high — worth watching
