Hackensack, NJ 07601

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $624,429

Likely range $401,510 – $649,788, 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 $624,429 home should be assessed near $465,699.

$401,900

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $63,799 below what the ratio math suggests (13.7%).
