The Fair Share Report

34 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

≈ $481,064

Likely range $424,439 – $557,202, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,702 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 $481,064 home should be assessed near $254,723.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$251,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $3,323 below what the ratio math suggests (1.3%).
