Since a contract for deed is not secured by the dwelling, it would not be a refinance and thus would be a purchase.
(p) Refinancing means a closed-end mortgage loan or an open-end line of credit in which a new, dwelling-secured debt obligation satisfies and replaces an existing, dwelling-secured debt obligation by the same borrower.
