The Fair Share Report

17 Lenape La

Upper, NJ 08223

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

≈ $368,760

Likely range $320,266 – $409,346, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,147 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 $368,760 home should be assessed near $208,903.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$232,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $23,497 above what the ratio math suggests (11.2%).

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