The Fair Share Report

86 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

≈ $364,659

Likely range $333,233 – $465,247, 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 $364,659 home should be assessed near $271,963.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$352,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $80,437 above what the ratio math suggests (29.6%).
