The Fair Share Report

533 Eastern Blvd

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

≈ $654,124

Likely range $587,567 – $787,270, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,350 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 $654,124 home should be assessed near $346,359.

$318,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $27,459 below what the ratio math suggests (7.9%).
