How Much Does A Home Appraisal Cost In Wilmington 2026?

If you have a VA home loan, the appraisal fee and the number of business days allowed for the report come from VA's published table, "VA Appraisal Fees and Timeliness," effective May 1, 2026. These figures are the VA program's fees for VA loan appraisals, not our private price. For Wilmington, VA lists $700 for a single-family home.

What these VA figures do not cover

These fees apply only to appraisals for VA home loans. They don't set the fee for a conventional or FHA loan appraisal, or for a private appraisal for divorce, estate, probate or tax purposes.

Appraisals outside a VA loan

For a private appraisal, a few things move the fee: the kind of property and how complicated it is, what the report is for, the date or dates it needs to reflect, how soon you need it, and whether you may want testimony or other extra work. A Wilmington row house with an addition and a detached house on a larger lot are different jobs.

For any other appraisal, the fee depends on the property and the purpose. Tell us the address, the purpose and your deadline, and ask for a written scope and fee for your property before any work begins.
