California Foreclosure FAQ
How do I buy a foreclosed home in California?
In California, foreclosed homes are sold through REO listings (bank-owned), HUD auctions, county tax-default sales, and sheriff sales. Gov Housing Portal aggregates all public government listings in one place so you can search and filter without visiting multiple agency websites.
What is an HUD home in California?
HUD homes are properties acquired by the Department of Housing and Urban Development after the FHA-insured mortgage is foreclosed. They are sold at market value through HUD-approved real estate brokers. Owner-occupants get a 30-day "First Look" period before investors can bid.
What is a tax-default auction in California?
When property taxes go unpaid for 5+ years, the county tax collector can sell the property at a public tax-default auction. California Revenue and Taxation Code requires these auctions to be publicly advertised. Bids can start as low as $100 in some counties.
Are California foreclosure listings free to search?
