The Fair Share Report

432 Prospect Ave

Hackensack, NJ 07601

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

≈ $607,037

Likely range $505,844 – $716,014, 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 $607,037 home should be assessed near $452,728.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$433,100

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $19,628 below what the ratio math suggests (4.3%).
