- Note: 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.
