Can I Sell My Norwich House Before Foreclosure?
Our agreement of sale will often get a law day extended or a foreclosure sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't change the date automatically; the request goes to the court with our agreement attached, and it works more often than people think.
You may still be able to sell if the required mortgage payoff and closing can happen before the court's deadline. Connecticut courts use strict foreclosure, with a law day, or may order a foreclosure by sale, an auction. Your court papers show which process applies.

Connecticut mortgage foreclosures go through court. In strict foreclosure, there is no auction: the judge sets a “law day.” If the debt is not paid by that date, title usually passes to the lender. If there is equity, the court may instead order a foreclosure by sale, an auction run by a court-appointed committee and approved by the court. Read the rules for foreclosure by sale and the court’s authority to open a judgment and set a new law day for good cause.
Which path applies and when you must act depend on your court papers and orders. A sale may still be possible before title passes if the required payoff and closing can happen by the deadline. Do not assume that a signed agreement changed a court date; have an attorney or title company confirm the current deadline and payoff.
A judge may reopen the judgment and set a new law day for good cause before title passes. The Connecticut Judicial Branch’s foreclosure research guide explains the court process and the questions to check in a specific case.
How We Help With a Possible Sale
Contact us by phone or the form. We review the house and where the case stands, then give you a written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to sell, a title company checks title and obtains the current payoff figures so the closing can account for the lender and other recorded obligations.
You don't have to repair, clean, or clear out the house to sell to us.
If the Payoff Is the Problem
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before. We can review the current payoff with you; only the lender can approve a change to what it will accept.
What Happens Next
- Contact us by phone or the form; we review the property and where your case stands.
- We provide a written cash offer and written terms before you decide.
- If you choose to sell, the title company checks title and obtains current payoff figures and closing requirements.
- If a court date needs to move, our agreement can accompany a request to the court; the date does not change automatically.
- If the sale can close under the written terms and court schedule, the title company handles the closing.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Connecticut state and municipal real estate conveyance taxes. You don't need to pay off your back taxes before we settle. We buy houses with back taxes and liens — payoffs get handled through the closing, not by you upfront. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay; the title company confirms the amounts and how sale proceeds are applied.
It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.
