How foreclosure works in Connecticut
Connecticut foreclosures go through the court. The lender files a lawsuit in Superior Court, and most cases end in a strict foreclosure: the judge sets “law days,” and if the debt isn’t paid by then, title passes to the lender. Some cases are ordered to a foreclosure by sale (a court auction) instead.

If you live in the house and it’s a one- to four-family home, you can usually ask for Connecticut’s Foreclosure Mediation Program after you’re served. Mediation can pause the case while you and the lender work on a loan modification or another solution.
Your options, from keeping the house to selling it
- Reinstate the loan. Pay the missed payments plus fees and the loan goes back to normal.
- Loan modification or repayment plan. The lender changes the terms or spreads out what you owe.
- Foreclosure mediation. A court mediator sits down with you and the lender.
- Talk to a HUD-approved housing counselor. They’re free, and they can help you talk to the lender. Search “HUD approved housing counselor” on hud.gov.
- Sell before your law day. If there’s equity, selling pays off the loan and puts the rest in your pocket.
- Short sale or deed in lieu. If you owe more than the house is worth, the lender may accept less or take the deed back.
- Bankruptcy. Filing can pause a foreclosure. Talk to a bankruptcy attorney before deciding.
