The Fair Share Report

188 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

≈ $298,088

Likely range $251,406 – $505,389, 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 $298,088 home should be assessed near $222,314.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$281,600

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $59,286 above what the ratio math suggests (26.7%).
