The Fair Share Report

129 E Prospect St

Hackettstown, NJ 07840

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

≈ $538,172

Likely range $442,661 – $550,101, from 12 comparable Hackettstown sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

74.38%

The state's official measure of how far Hackettstown assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $538,172 home should be assessed near $400,292.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$379,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $21,292 below what the ratio math suggests (5.3%).

$3.477 per $100 assessed

A touch high — worth watching
