The Fair Share Report

170 High St

Hackensack, NJ 07524

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

≈ $585,580

Likely range $520,167 – $713,721, 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 $585,580 home should be assessed near $436,726.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$353,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $83,526 below what the ratio math suggests (19.1%).
