Connecticut foreclosures run through the courts. The General Statutes allow a decree of sale instead of strict foreclosure, and after the redemption period any party to a mortgage foreclosure may seek a deficiency judgment after a court valuation. A mortgage securing construction advances can keep its priority up to the loan amount authorized if it carries the statutory description, and a mechanic's lien certificate must be lodged within ninety days after the claimant stops work or deliveries. The state's coastal hazards guidance points to storm surge as the primary coastal concern.

What investors should know about Connecticut
Court-supervised foreclosure
Connecticut's General Statutes provide for foreclosure of liens and mortgages on real property through the courts, by a decree of sale instead of a strict foreclosure at the court's discretion, or by market sale for certain first mortgages with the mortgagor's consent.

Deficiency judgment motion
After the time limited for redemption has expired, any party to a mortgage foreclosure may move for a deficiency judgment. The court holds an evidentiary hearing, sets a valuation for the property and enters judgment for the difference, if any, between that valuation and the plaintiff's claim.

Mortgages securing construction advances
Connecticut allows a mortgage securing future advances for construction or repair to be valid for money actually advanced, up to the full loan authorized, with the priority it would have had if advanced at delivery, if the mortgage contains the statutory description of the loan.

Mechanic's lien certificate timing
A Connecticut mechanic's lien is not valid unless the person who performed services or furnished materials lodges a certificate with the town clerk within ninety days after they ceased to do so, and gives notice to the owner as the statute requires.

Coastal storm surge
Connecticut's Department of Energy and Environmental Protection says that in coastal hazard areas the primary concern is storm surge, which can accompany winter storms as well as tropical storms. The document is dated, so current flood maps are worth checking per property.
