The Fair Share Report

2085 Rt 50

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

≈ $601,242

Likely range $509,223 – $721,867, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,421 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 $601,242 home should be assessed near $340,604.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$190,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $149,904 below what the ratio math suggests (44.0%).

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Upper pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
