Through a Contract for Deed, the Seller also acts as the financer for the Buyer. This option has pros and cons for both Buyer and Seller.The Seller does not receive the total sales price for the property at the time of executing the Contract, but rather receives payments pursuant to the terms of the Contract. The Seller does retain ownership of the property until the Contract terms are met. Since the Seller receives periodic payments, the Seller can view these payments as steady income. Since the Seller is the financer, the Seller receives the total purchase price plus accruing interest as set forth in the Contract.

In real estate, the phrase "Under Contract" means that a buyer and a seller are in the process of completing the sale. Usually the buyer has put down some portion of the purchase price (varies by state, property type, seller comfort, etc.) into an escrow account as "good faith" that they will be able to get financing and close the deal. Generally, the seller cannot accept any new offers while the property is under contract.
You may be thinking of a contract FOR deed. These should be avoided due to complexity of the law, but it is when the seller keeps title to the property until the sales price is fully paid.
