The Fair Share Report

35 Locker St

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

≈ $477,005

Likely range $442,925 – $517,519, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,738 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 $477,005 home should be assessed near $252,574.
