San Diego County Notice of Default (NOD) List
750 San Diego County properties are currently at the notice of default stage — the recorded filing that opens a California foreclosure. That's #4 among the 58 counties and 5.7% of active NODs statewide. The NOD opens a roughly three-month reinstatement window before an auction can be scheduled, which makes this the earliest recorded moment an owner's trouble becomes public — and the stage where a sale can still solve it.
