How Foreclosure Works in California
California forecloses nonjudicially — through the county recorder, not the courts. That makes the paper trail public and precise: a Notice of Default is recorded after roughly 90 days of missed payments and starts a three-month reinstatement window. If the loan isn't brought current, a Notice of Trustee Sale sets a public auction date at least 21 days out. At auction the property sells to the highest bidder or reverts to the lender as REO.
Every stage is a recorded document — which means every stage is trackable. Properant reads those recordings daily across all 58 counties, links each filing to the parcel, its owner, its full loan history, and its true equity position, then scores how deep the distress runs so you know which owners to reach first.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many active foreclosures are there in California?
Properant currently tracks 17,457 California properties in active pre-foreclosure — 13,271 at the notice of default stage and 4,186 already scheduled for trustee sale — plus 42,772 foreclosure-acquired properties (homes last purchased at a foreclosure sale with no recorded resale since), as of October 12, 2026.
How does the California foreclosure process work?
California is a nonjudicial foreclosure state. A lender records a Notice of Default (NOD) with the county after missed payments; roughly three months later it can record a Notice of Trustee Sale (NTS) setting a public auction date at least 21 days out. At auction the property either sells to a third party or reverts to the lender as REO (bank-owned).
How do I find pre-foreclosures in my county?
Pick your county below to see its live pre-foreclosure, trustee sale, REO, tax-delinquent, and lien counts, then search the individual properties — with owner records, equity, loan history, and auction details — inside Properant. The trial is free and requires no credit card.
Where can I find foreclosed homes for sale in California?
It depends on the stage of foreclosure. The 4,186 California homes with a scheduled trustee sale are sold at public auction to the highest cash bidder — anyone can bid. The 42,772 foreclosure-acquired (bank-owned) properties belong to lenders and investors, and typically come to market through real-estate agents. And the 13,271 homes at the notice-of-default stage are not for sale yet — but many of those owners need to sell, which is why pre-foreclosure lists are the most-worked lead source in the state. Properant tracks all three stages, updated daily from county records.
How do I get the county clerk or county recorder foreclosure list?
In California, foreclosure filings are recorded with each county's Recorder (sometimes the Clerk-Recorder), not a court. You can search a recorder's index in person or on its website one document at a time — Notices of Default and Notices of Trustee Sale are separate filings, and releases and rescissions are recorded separately again. Properant assembles those recordings for all 58 counties into one searchable list, matches each filing to the property and owner, removes filings that were later released or cancelled, and updates it every day.
Where does this foreclosure data come from?
Counts come from recorded county documents — notices of default, notices of trustee sale, trustee deeds, tax rolls, and lien filings — processed and de-duplicated across all 58 California counties, with releases and cancellations removed so the list reflects currently active distress.
