The Fair Share Report

2240 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

≈ $589,847

Likely range $401,372 – $719,233, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,274 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 $589,847 home should be assessed near $334,148.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$218,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $115,448 below what the ratio math suggests (34.6%).
