California Foreclosure Auctions (Trustee Sales) — Dates, Bids & Owners
As of October 12, 2026, California has 4,186 properties scheduled for trustee sale on record across all 58 counties.
A foreclosure auction in California is a trustee sale — the same event under its technical name. The Notice of Trustee Sale is the final recorded stage of a nonjudicial foreclosure: it sets a public auction date at least 21 days out, and publishes where the sale happens and — in many filings — the opening bid. And it's the tip of a much larger pipeline: behind these 4,186 scheduled auctions sit 13,271 properties at notice of default and 17,457 in active pre-foreclosure overall. A trustee sale list is how auction buyers build their week and how outreach-focused investors find owners with a hard deadline.

What's on Every Property Record
For every scheduled sale, Properant shows the auction date and city, the opening bid where the filing publishes one, the trustee and foreclosing lender, the total recorded debt against the property, and its true equity — the spread between likely market value and what's owed is visible before you drive to the courthouse steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many properties scheduled for trustee sale are there in California?
Properant tracks 4,186 properties scheduled for trustee sale across California's 58 counties as of October 12, 2026, counted from recorded county documents with releases and cancellations removed.
Where do trustee sales happen in California?
Each notice of trustee sale states its own venue — commonly the courthouse steps or another public location in the county seat. The auction city is a field on every scheduled sale in Properant, so you can filter a county’s sales by venue and date.
Is this the same as a notice of trustee sale list or a foreclosure auction list?
Yes — three names for one recorded document. In California a foreclosure auction is a trustee sale, and the notice of trustee sale (NTS) is the filing that schedules it. Whether you call it a notice of trustee sale list, a trustee sale list, or a foreclosure auction list, this page tracks every active one statewide, with auction dates and opening bids where the filing publishes them.
Can I download the foreclosure auctions (trustee sales) — dates, bids & owners?
Yes. Inside Properant you can filter by county, city, equity, owner type, and every other signal, save the list, and export it — or upload your own list and let the platform match and enrich it. The trial is free and requires no credit card.
