The Fair Share Report

126 Cedar Ave

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

≈ $554,667

Likely range $462,364 – $631,149, 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 $554,667 home should be assessed near $413,671.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$477,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $63,929 above what the ratio math suggests (15.5%).

A touch high — worth watching

This home's ratio sits above most of Hackensack, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (85.77%).
