This home's payments are about right

It sits inside Berkeley's normal range — market price changes haven't singled it out. No case for a tax appeal.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $272,921

Likely range $253,517 – $314,196, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

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 $272,921 home should be assessed near $144,512.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$115,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $28,912 below what the ratio math suggests (20.0%).
