The Fair Share Report

499 Summit 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

≈ $903,630

Likely range $824,211 – $1,034,905, 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 $903,630 home should be assessed near $673,927.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$815,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $141,273 above what the ratio math suggests (21.0%).

A touch high — worth watching

This home's ratio sits above most of Hackensack, but doesn't clear NJ's legal appeal line (85.77%).
