Single-family housing completions, owner-built
Estimated number of privately owned single-family housing units completed in the quarter on the owner's land, with the owner acting as the general contractor. The owner may build the home personally, use subcontractors, or combine their work with paid help.
Quarterly estimates count units in privately owned new housing. They are not seasonally adjusted or annualized. Census marks the newest quarterly release as preliminary and revises the prior quarter; quarterly totals may differ from annual totals because annual figures include late reports and corrections. A single-family home is complete when finished flooring is installed, or earlier if it is occupied before construction is finished. This category is distinct from a home built for an owner by a general contractor.
