Hackensack, NJ 07647

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

≈ $600,857

Likely range $535,297 – $671,252, 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 $600,857 home should be assessed near $448,119.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$390,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $58,019 below what the ratio math suggests (12.9%).
