Can I Sell My New Haven House in Foreclosure?
Our agreement of sale will often get a law day extended or a foreclosure sale postponed so we can close. It doesn't always work, but it works more often than people think. Signing alone doesn't move the date; the request goes to the court with our agreement attached.
Connecticut foreclosures go through court. In a strict foreclosure, there is no auction: the court sets a law day, the deadline to pay the debt, and title usually passes to the lender if it is not paid by then. If there is equity, the court may instead order a foreclosure by sale, with an auction run by a court-appointed committee and approved by the court. Before title passes, a judge may reopen the judgment and set a new law day for good cause.

Mortgage foreclosure or tax sale?
A mortgage foreclosure is a court case about a mortgage loan. A municipal tax sale concerns unpaid property taxes and has its own notices and dates. A court request in the mortgage case does not change a town's tax-sale date. If your notice concerns a tax sale, contact the municipality named on it; call us too, and we'll help you sort out next steps.

Questions about foreclosure in New Haven, CT
What if my Connecticut law day has already passed?
If title has not passed, a Connecticut judge may reopen the foreclosure judgment and set a new law day for good cause. Call us to talk through the court date and payoff.
Can foreclosure mediation help me keep my home?
Owner-occupants of one- to four-family homes may qualify for Connecticut’s Foreclosure Mediation Program, which can pause the case. Check the court’s program information promptly for eligibility and filing deadlines.
Is a municipal tax sale the same as mortgage foreclosure?
No. A mortgage foreclosure is a court case about the mortgage loan; a municipal tax sale concerns unpaid property taxes and has separate notices and dates. A law day or mortgage-foreclosure sale date is not a tax-sale date. Contact the municipality named on the tax-sale notice for its current instructions.
