The Fair Share Report

33 Water St

Hackensack, NJ 07652

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

≈ $455,124

Likely range $356,529 – $544,833, 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 $455,124 home should be assessed near $339,431.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$261,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $77,531 below what the ratio math suggests (22.8%).
