The Fair Share Report

535 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

≈ $532,455

Likely range $483,154 – $650,778, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,976 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 $532,455 home should be assessed near $281,935.

$271,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $10,335 below what the ratio math suggests (3.7%).
