Brad's family is in Charlotte and mine is east of Greensboro. We wanted to be close enough to work to save on commuting, but close enough to Charlotte to visit family easily.
My first map search was in Mooresville and Troutman.
The few homes that met my mental picture were out of our price range. On the ride back from visiting our sister paper in Mooresville, I saw a billboard for new homes in Statesville. I visited their Web site as soon as I got home.
The homes were large and beautiful, exactly what my mental picture described. They were also in our price range.
I mentioned it to a few coworkers, and they asked if the builder had a good reputation. I said they did as far as I knew. Then that little imp in my stomach kicked me. I did a Google search and found a message board full of people who say they have bought homes from the same builder. A lot of the complaints seemed legit. Even if they were bogus claims, it was more than I wanted to risk so I scratched the builder off my list and started looking at "used" homes again.
Mooresville and Troutman were out, new construction was out. That left homes in Statesville.
