Hackettstown, NJ 07840

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

≈ $549,211

Likely range $493,651 – $624,347, 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 $549,211 home should be assessed near $408,503.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$337,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $71,103 below what the ratio math suggests (17.4%).
