The Fair Share Report

8 Twenty Second Ave

Berkeley, NJ 08807

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

≈ $571,451

Likely range $379,717 – $774,915, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,610 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 $571,451 home should be assessed near $302,583.

$574,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $271,417 above what the ratio math suggests (89.7%).
