The Fair Share Report

593 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

≈ $633,301

Likely range $536,609 – $751,843, 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 $633,301 home should be assessed near $472,316.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$655,000

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $182,684 above what the ratio math suggests (38.7%).
