Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $821,259 – $1,093,754, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 3,658 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 $858,436 home should be assessed near $486,304.
