The Fair Share Report

916 S Bayview Dr

Upper, NJ 08056

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

≈ $486,111

Likely range $425,000 – $1,300,746, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,260 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 $486,111 home should be assessed near $275,382.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$1,183,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $908,218 above what the ratio math suggests (329.8%).
