The Fair Share Report

320 Wheaton Ave

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

≈ $272,244

Likely range $220,202 – $311,316, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,092 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 $272,244 home should be assessed near $144,153.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$194,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $49,947 above what the ratio math suggests (34.6%).

$2.590 per $100 assessed
