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

≈ $451,019

Likely range $388,106 – $549,764, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,710 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 $451,019 home should be assessed near $255,502.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$225,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $30,202 below what the ratio math suggests (11.8%).
