Homeowners unable to recover losses when builders abandon projects mid-construction

Homeowners are left with unfinished homes and significant financial losses when builders face financial difficulties and halt work, with no clear recourse to recover their down payments or construction costs. Current legal and contractual protections fail to prevent builders from abandoning projects, leaving homeowners in financial limbo with incomplete properties they cannot sell or occupy. Homeowners lack visibility into builder financial health before signing contracts and have limited mechanisms to protect their investment.
