A dated VA loan reference
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Appraisal Fees and Timeliness Table, effective May 1, 2026, lists the VA loan appraisal fees and timeliness standards. Its New Jersey row lists $650 for a single-family home or individual condominium, $700 for a manufactured home and $800 for a 2–4 unit property, with a nine-business-day appraisal timeliness standard.
Those figures describe the cited VA loan table. They do not set the fee or delivery schedule for a private, divorce, estate, cash-purchase or conventional appraisal. Confirm any applicable VA requirement with the lender.

Property type and scope
A condominium, manufactured home and multi-unit property present different information and analysis needs. Tell the appraiser about association records, foundation or title questions, rental units and unusual site features as applicable. Ask which records the assignment will need.
Preparing an inquiry
Gather prior appraisals, surveys and a dated improvement list if available. Explain who needs the report and what decision it will support. Confirm access and timing for the specific assignment.
