The Fair Share Report

2027 Cedar La

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

≈ $383,378

Likely range $321,378 – $435,000, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,320 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 $383,378 home should be assessed near $217,184.
