The Fair Share Report

71 Perry Rd

Upper, NJ 08270

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

≈ $378,802

Likely range $255,690 – $428,883, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,536 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 $378,802 home should be assessed near $214,591.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$296,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $81,709 above what the ratio math suggests (38.1%).
