The Fair Share Report

5 Harrow Ct

Berkeley, NJ 08757

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

≈ $522,000

Likely range $456,338 – $685,648, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,928 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 $522,000 home should be assessed near $276,399.

$217,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $58,799 below what the ratio math suggests (21.3%).
