Berkeley, NJ 08721

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $530,602

Likely range $494,355 – $678,535, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,908 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 $530,602 home should be assessed near $280,954.
