The Fair Share Report

243 Johnson 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

≈ $269,000

Likely range $235,088 – $279,725, from 12 comparable Hackensack sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 670 sq ft.

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 $269,000 home should be assessed near $200,620.

$197,800

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $2,820 below what the ratio math suggests (1.4%).
