Alameda County Foreclosure Auctions (Trustee Sales) — Dates & Opening Bids
A foreclosure auction in California is a trustee sale — and Alameda County currently has 113 of them scheduled, each one a recorded notice of trustee sale. That ranks it #10 of California's 58 counties, 2.7% of every auction scheduled statewide. Each notice sets a sale date at least 21 days out and names the venue, and many publish an opening bid, so the county's auction calendar is knowable weeks ahead — if you're reading the recorded documents.

What's on Every Property Record
Every scheduled sale carries its auction date and city, the opening bid where the filing publishes one, the trustee and foreclosing lender, total recorded debt, and true equity. Auction buyers build their week from this; outreach investors use the hard deadline — an owner facing a sale date is out of time for half-measures.
