Can I Sell My Waterbury 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.
Yes. You may still be able to sell if the mortgage payoff, title work, and closing can be completed before the court's deadline.

How we help you get to closing
Call us or send the Waterbury property address. We'll look at the house as-is and go over the court notice, mortgage payoff, and title details with you. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. If more time is needed, we can send our agreement with a request to the court to extend the law day or postpone the foreclosure sale; the court decides whether to change the date.
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow. No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Connecticut state and municipal real estate conveyance taxes.
Your mortgage payoff and share of current property taxes are separate from closing costs. 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.
Which foreclosure or tax sale notice is this?
Connecticut mortgage foreclosures go through court. In a strict foreclosure, the judge sets a law day—the deadline to pay the debt. If it is not paid by then, 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.
Before title passes, a judge may reopen the judgment and set a new law day for good cause.
A municipal property-tax sale is separate from a mortgage foreclosure and has its own notice and deadline. A request in the mortgage case does not change a tax-sale date.
- Connecticut General Statutes §49-15 — reopening a foreclosure judgment.
- Connecticut General Statutes §49-24 — foreclosure by sale.
- Connecticut General Statutes §§49-25 to 49-27 — related foreclosure-sale provisions.
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 review the payoff and other title details against the written sale terms so you can see what closing would need to address.

Foreclosure questions from Waterbury homeowners
Can I sell my Waterbury house before a Connecticut foreclosure deadline?
Yes. You may still be able to sell if the mortgage payoff, title work, and closing can be completed before the court's deadline. Connecticut uses a law day in strict foreclosure or may order a foreclosure by sale.
Does signing a sale agreement move my law day or foreclosure sale?
Signing the agreement does not automatically move the court date. We can send our agreement with a request to the court to extend a law day or postpone a foreclosure sale; the judge decides whether to change the date.
Is a Waterbury tax sale the same as a mortgage foreclosure?
No. A mortgage foreclosure is a court case over mortgage debt. A municipal property-tax sale is separate and has its own notice and deadline; a request in the mortgage case does not change a tax-sale date.
What if the mortgage payoff is more than my house is worth?
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
Can Connecticut foreclosure mediation pause my case?
Owner-occupants of one- to four-family homes may qualify for the Connecticut Judicial Branch Foreclosure Mediation Program, which can pause the case.
