Strict foreclosure in Connecticut means:

Strict foreclosure is not a quick sale process. In fact, it bypasses the sale entirely, making it a distinct alternative to foreclosure sales which are typically faster than traditional foreclosure but still involve a sale.

While strict foreclosure does eliminate a traditional redemption period, this is not its defining characteristic. The key feature is the direct transfer of title to the lender, not simply the absence of a redemption period.

Public auction is explicitly NOT required in strict foreclosure. This process specifically avoids the sale step that characterizes other foreclosure methods like judicial foreclosure and non-judicial foreclosure.
