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

≈ $306,715

Likely range $273,444 – $407,759, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,171 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 $306,715 home should be assessed near $162,406.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$218,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $55,994 above what the ratio math suggests (34.5%).

A touch high — worth watching
