FHA Share of Home Purchase Activity

The FHA Share of Home Purchase Activity report represents the impact FHA is having on supporting homeownership opportunities across the country. The tables found here provide information on the number (and dollar) of home purchases in the U.S., and the share of those home purchases made with mortgages having FHA insurance. FHA provides insurance on home loans, which then encourages lenders to extend credit to first-time and wealth-restricted households. Counts of home purchase activity come from the U.S. Bureau of the Census (new homes, including manufacture housing), and the National Association of Realtors (existing homes, including condos). Information on FHA activity comes directly from HUD data systems.
