The Fair Share Report

146 So Summit 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

≈ $767,420

Likely range $732,399 – $838,355, 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 $767,420 home should be assessed near $572,342.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$505,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $67,242 below what the ratio math suggests (11.7%).
