Selling a house in Hackensack: what's specific to the city
Hackensack is a city of neighborhoods, and each sells differently. Here's what we see.
Prewar two-families downtown. The blocks off Main Street, Hudson Street and the First Ward are frame two- and three-families from the 1900s through 1930s, often tenant-occupied, often with a unit that was never permitted. We buy occupied and handle the city afterward.
Fairmount and the north end are estates. Colonials and capes from the 1920s through 50s, many still with original families or their estates: plaster, knob-and-tube, oil tanks, full basements. That's the house we buy most in Hackensack.
Condos along Prospect Avenue. Older high-rise units with aging owners, association arrears and dated interiors. We buy condos and handle the association.
The Hackensack River floods. River Street and the low blocks toward Little Ferry and Bogota have flood history. We buy flood-zone houses as-is.
The city inspects before sale. Hackensack requires a certificate of occupancy before a house changes hands. We schedule it, pay for it and fix anything after closing.
Local notes from houses we’ve bought and walked; confirm anything specific to your property with the township and your attorney. More on selling in Bergen County.
