The Fair Share Report

5 Belcroft Ave

Upper, NJ 08230

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

≈ $615,159

Likely range $557,153 – $675,154, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,740 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 $615,159 home should be assessed near $348,488.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$324,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $23,588 below what the ratio math suggests (6.8%).
