Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $327,408 – $401,835, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 962 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 $383,215 home should be assessed near $202,912.
