The Fair Share Report

17 Evergreen Dr

Upper, NJ 08230

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

≈ $361,535

Likely range $297,703 – $400,928, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,064 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 $361,535 home should be assessed near $204,810.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$177,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $27,810 below what the ratio math suggests (13.6%).

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