Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $423,570 – $525,942, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,528 sq ft.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Upper assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $439,603 home should be assessed near $249,035.

Paying about right
