MOORESVILLE, N.C. — After people in multiple parts of the Charlotte area closed on new homes in neighborhoods under construction, a WCNC Charlotte investigation found work on the remaining houses stopped. The stalled projects, the result of financial problems with the developer, left homeowners stuck for roughly a year, living next to unfinished and unsafe construction sites. An attorney who specializes in real estate said this case should serve as a warning to anyone looking to buy.
