The Fair Share Report

26 Jill Ave

Upper, NJ 08223

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

≈ $784,863

Likely range $681,449 – $833,315, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 3,415 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 $784,863 home should be assessed near $444,625.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$429,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $15,325 below what the ratio math suggests (3.4%).
