How a Connecticut foreclosure moves, step by step
- Default and demand letter. After missed payments, the lender sends a notice giving you a set time to catch up.
- Summons and complaint. A marshal serves the lawsuit. The return date on those papers starts your clock for filing an appearance.
- Mediation window. If the house is your home and has one to four units, you can ask the court for foreclosure mediation when you file your appearance. While mediation runs, the case usually cannot move to judgment.
- Judgment. The lender asks for either strict foreclosure or a foreclosure by sale.
- Law day or auction. In a strict foreclosure the judge sets a law day. If the debt is not paid by then, the title goes to the lender. In a foreclosure by sale, a court-appointed committee auctions the house.
Ways out, from keeping the house to walking away
- Catch up (reinstate). Pay the arrears, fees and costs, and the loan continues.
- Modify or set a repayment plan. Mediation is often where these get worked out.
- Refinance. Possible only with steady income and equity.
- Sell before the law day. The payoff is covered at closing and any equity left over is yours, not the bank’s.
- Short sale or deed in lieu. Options when you owe more than the house will bring, both need the lender’s sign-off.
- Bankruptcy. Stops the case for a while. Talk to a bankruptcy attorney first.
Selling your Windsor house to CT MAX before the law day
If keeping the house is not realistic, selling it yourself protects the equity a foreclosure would wipe out. CT MAX buys Windsor houses as they are, with cash. We order the lender’s payoff letter, your Connecticut closing attorney pays the lender at closing, and whatever is left comes to you. Tell us the law day or auction date on the first call so we can plan around it.
What the house costs you while you wait
Taxes do not stop during a foreclosure. At Windsor’s rate of 28.88 mills, a house with a $350,000 market value (assessed at 70%) runs about $7,076 a year in property tax. Late Connecticut property taxes build interest at 18% a year, and interest, late charges and legal fees are added to the loan balance as the case goes on.
Common questions
Can I still sell my Windsor house after the foreclosure starts?
Usually yes. Until title passes on the law day, or until an auction sale is approved, you can sell and pay off the lender at closing. The sooner you start, the more choices you have.
Where is the Windsor foreclosure case filed?
Windsor cases go to the Hartford Judicial District Superior Court (Civil) at 95 Washington St, Hartford, CT 06106. The clerk’s number is (860) 548-2700. You can also look up the case by name on the Connecticut Judicial Branch website.
Does foreclosure mediation cost anything?
The state program itself has no fee for eligible homeowners. It is open to owner-occupied one- to four-family homes, and you ask for it when you file your appearance.
What if I owe more than the house is worth?
Then a straight sale will not cover the loan, and the lender would need to approve a short sale. Call us and we will tell you honestly whether a MAX Offer can help or whether a short sale or attorney is the better path.
