The Fair Share Report

9 Sunset Dr

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

≈ $455,726

Likely range $346,065 – $539,622, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,997 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 $455,726 home should be assessed near $258,169.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$224,300

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $33,869 below what the ratio math suggests (13.1%).
