The Fair Share Report

12 Herman St

Hackensack, NJ 07601

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

≈ $379,319

Likely range $274,408 – $516,022, from 12 comparable Hackensack sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

74.58%

The state's official measure of how far Hackensack assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $379,319 home should be assessed near $282,896.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$355,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $72,204 above what the ratio math suggests (25.5%).
