Hackensack, NJ 07601

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $393,858

Likely range $337,128 – $429,700, 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%

$414,200

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $120,461 above what the ratio math suggests (41.0%).
