Frequently Asked Questions
How many foreclosures are there in San Diego, California right now?
As of October 12, 2026, Properant tracks 364 pre-foreclosure homes in San Diego (299 at the notice-of-default stage, 65 already scheduled for foreclosure auction), plus 649 bank-owned homes and 4,554 tax-delinquent properties. San Diego ranks #4 among California cities for active pre-foreclosures. Counts come from documents recorded with San Diego County and update daily.
Is there a free San Diego foreclosure list?
The counts on this page are free and update daily. The address-level list — every pre-foreclosure, auction and bank-owned home in San Diego with the owner of record, open loans, liens and an equity estimate — is inside Properant, which starts with a free trial. Foreclosure filings are public record, so you can also read them one at a time at the San Diego County recorder; Properant simply links all of them to their properties statewide.
Where can I find foreclosures for sale in San Diego, CA?
It depends on the stage. Homes at foreclosure auction (65 scheduled in San Diego right now) are sold to the highest cash bidder, and anyone can bid. Bank-owned homes (649 in San Diego) belong to the lender and usually list with a real-estate agent after the sale. Pre-foreclosure homes (364) are not on the market yet — their owners still hold title, which is why investors approach them directly before the auction. Properant tracks every stage daily, with the owner, open loans and equity behind each address.
How do I find pre-foreclosure homes in San Diego?
A pre-foreclosure begins when the lender records a notice of default with the San Diego County recorder; roughly three months later a notice of trustee sale can follow, which sets the auction. Both are public documents. Properant reads every filing as it is recorded, removes the ones that were cured or cancelled, and shows the 364 that are live in San Diego today on the map, filterable by stage, equity, absentee owner and more.
How do foreclosure auctions work in San Diego, California?
Most California foreclosures are non-judicial trustee sales: after the notice of default period, the trustee records a notice of sale with the date, time and place, and the property is auctioned to the highest cash bidder (the lender's opening bid is typically the debt owed). Sales are frequently postponed at the podium. San Diego currently has 65 auctions scheduled; each one in Properant carries the sale date, published opening bid, the trustee, and the owner and loan history behind it.
How many tax-delinquent properties are in San Diego?
San Diego currently shows 4,554 properties with delinquent property taxes on San Diego County records. Nothing about tax delinquency is public-facing — no filing, no sign — but five years of it makes a property eligible for the county tax-deed sale, and owners on this list disproportionately hold real equity with a cash-flow problem a sale would solve.
Are foreclosure records public in California?
Yes. Notices of default, notices of trustee sale and trustee's deeds are recorded with the county recorder and are public record; tax-delinquency status is on the county tax roll. What is hard is reading them at scale — hundreds of filings a day across 58 counties — which is the part Properant does, updated daily.
