The Fair Share Report

204 S Bayview Dr

Upper, NJ 08033

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

≈ $422,322

Likely range $395,455 – $1,556,766, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,508 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 $422,322 home should be assessed near $239,245.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$702,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $463,055 above what the ratio math suggests (193.5%).

$2.303 per $100 assessed

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