The Fair Share Report

13 S Commonwealth Ave

Upper, NJ 08062

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

≈ $1,711,597

Likely range $736,733 – $2,729,361, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,680 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

56.65%

The state's official measure of how far Upper assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $1,711,597 home should be assessed near $969,620.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$487,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $482,420 below what the ratio math suggests (49.8%).

$2.303 per $100 assessed

$1.649 Schools · 72% $0.331 County · 14% $0.323 Town · 14%
