Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $610,392 – $875,286, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,961 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 $680,521 home should be assessed near $385,515.
