The Fair Share Report

381 Roberts Ave

Berkeley, NJ 07405

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

≈ $592,338

Likely range $492,279 – $933,523, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,570 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 $592,338 home should be assessed near $313,643.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$635,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $321,357 above what the ratio math suggests (102.5%).
