Dream Turning Into Nightmare For One New Homebuyer Couple

In Elk Grove, California, KCRA-TV Channrel 3 (Sacramento) reports:

• Last May, Jason and Gina Rossow fulfilled their dream of buying their first home in a brand-new subdivision under construction in Elk Grove. "Yeah, we were super excited," said Gina Rossow. But now across the street are weeds. An entire field is empty with just debris. And around the corner there are unfinished homes. The Rossows' dream is slowly creeping toward nightmare. "We're just confused," Jason Rossow said. What's causing confusion, concern, and unwelcome news is a closed sign that's on the Dunmore Homes sales office door. All construction was halted last month, and contractors filed roughly $5 million in liens against Dunmore Homes.
