Likely range $299,310 – $583,333, from 12 comparable Berkeley sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 560 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 $364,583 home should be assessed near $193,047.
