The Fair Share Report

33 Brown Ave

Berkeley, NJ 08741

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

≈ $291,021

Likely range $247,181 – $346,145, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,140 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 $291,021 home should be assessed near $154,096.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$248,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $94,804 above what the ratio math suggests (61.5%).
