Step 1 · Market value

≈ $505,590

Likely range $468,645 – $519,222, from 12 comparable Hackettstown sales in the past 18 months (home size estimated from assessor data — range widened).

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

74.38%

The state's official measure of how far Hackettstown assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $505,590 home should be assessed near $376,058.
