Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $282,763 – $550,000, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 528 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 $380,519 home should be assessed near $201,485.

$1.213 Schools · 47% $0.582 County · 22% $0.795 Town · 31%
