A large contingent of new homes started in 2015 were purchased using non-conventional financing according to a new analysis by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). The association’s Assistant Vice President for Housing Policy Research, Natalia Siniavskaia writes that more than a third (34.4 percent) of newly constructed homes started last year did not use conventional financing. This includes purchases using all cash, FHA, VA, and Rural Housing Service (USDA) loans.
