being rented or sold, over the course of the first twelve months 
following completion of a building. The data are collected at quarterly 
intervals until the twelve months conclude, or until the units in a 
building are completely absorbed. The survey also provides estimates of 
certain characteristics, including asking rent/price, number of units, 
and number of bedrooms. The survey provides a basis for analyzing the

future needs of the public.

x 30 minutes).

of their time. The total estimated cost to HUD in FY 2017 is
