- Note: A sale is counted when a contract is signed or a deposit is accepted, even before construction starts; Census does not wait for closing. Financing is recorded at that first agreement or deposit, and later changes are not reflected. FHA and VA estimates may differ from agency loan totals. Census marks the newest quarterly release as preliminary and revises the prior quarter. Conventional financing is not guaranteed by a government agency. Census stopped collecting Rural Housing Service financing data, last published in 2007.
