The Fair Share Report

84 Dolphin Cir E

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

≈ $481,796

Likely range $423,201 – $556,222, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,788 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 $481,796 home should be assessed near $255,111.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$280,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $25,289 above what the ratio math suggests (9.9%).
