Judicial foreclosure is not primary in North Carolina. While available, it requires court supervision and is rarely used compared to the more efficient power of sale method.

Strict foreclosure, where the lender automatically gains title without a sale, is not available in North Carolina and is primarily used in only a few northeastern states.
