Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $249,600 – $475,665, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 768 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Berkeley assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $312,993 home should be assessed near $165,730.
