≈ $604,327

Likely range $481,633 – $698,167, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,888 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

52.95%

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Berkeley pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
