Deal Check: Pass
Why- Approx. judgment/upset amount owed to the lender: $439,522 (source: official Passaic County sheriff list, as of Oct 27, 2026).
- Town's net assessed value (MOD-IV tax list): $261,000 (source: NJ MOD-IV tax list via NJ Office of GIS parcel composite (NJOGIS / NJ Division of Taxation), retrieved Oct 29, 2026).
- $439,522 ÷ $261,000 = 168%. Our rule: 50% or less = Strong, up to 80% = Fair, above = Pass.
- NJ assessed values are not market values; each town's assessment ratio differs, so treat this as a rough guide. The lender can bid up to what it is owed, so the final price may differ.
- Yearly property tax on record: $11,257 (source: NJ MOD-IV tax list via NJ Office of GIS parcel composite (NJOGIS / NJ Division of Taxation), retrieved Oct 29, 2026).
- Back taxes are not published in our sources; check the county treasurer/tax collector.
- Occupancy: not stated by the official source.
Deal Check is a simple math check of published numbers, not an appraisal and not financial advice. It does not know the condition, liens, title problems, or back taxes. Inspect from the street, run a title/lien search, and verify everything with the county before you bid.
