Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $260,865 – $339,720, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,222 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 $309,270 home should be assessed near $163,758.
