The Fair Share Report

5 Red Oak Dr

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

≈ $606,077

Likely range $545,148 – $663,627, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 2,814 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 $606,077 home should be assessed near $343,343.

$321,700

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $21,643 below what the ratio math suggests (6.3%).
