Hackensack, NJ 07601

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $295,000

Likely range $269,640 – $310,418, from 12 comparable Hackensack sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 856 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 $295,000 home should be assessed near $220,011.
