The Fair Share Report

26 Vanderbeck Pl

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

≈ $629,569

Likely range $498,823 – $708,480, 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 $629,569 home should be assessed near $469,533.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$382,500

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $87,033 below what the ratio math suggests (18.5%).
