The Fair Share Report

2001 Reading Blvd

Upper, NJ 08270

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

≈ $471,441

Likely range $350,715 – $533,098, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,987 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 $471,441 home should be assessed near $267,071.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$187,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $79,571 below what the ratio math suggests (29.8%).
