The Fair Share Report

184 Washington Ave

Hackensack, NJ 08873

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

≈ $639,797

Likely range $598,630 – $775,462, 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 $639,797 home should be assessed near $477,161.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$417,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $59,661 below what the ratio math suggests (12.5%).
