The Fair Share Report

169 Poor 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

≈ $574,336

Likely range $483,079 – $705,139, 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 $574,336 home should be assessed near $428,340.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$390,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $38,340 below what the ratio math suggests (9.0%).

$3.208 per $100 assessed
