Step 1 · Market value

≈ $721,154

Likely range $624,900 – $877,846, 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 $721,154 home should be assessed near $537,837.

$469,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $68,437 below what the ratio math suggests (12.7%).
