The Fair Share Report

41 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

≈ $437,415

Likely range $349,225 – $462,590, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,412 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 $437,415 home should be assessed near $231,611.

$285,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $53,589 above what the ratio math suggests (23.1%).
