The Fair Share Report

311 Gerard Ave

Berkeley, NJ 08752

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

≈ $247,139

Likely range $229,486 – $290,534, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,040 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 $247,139 home should be assessed near $130,860.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$472,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $341,540 above what the ratio math suggests (261.0%).
