.
According to Forecloureradar.com, the average time for a foreclosure to be completed in Sacramento County is now 270 days.
The timelines for California Foreclosures now stands at 319 days. On both Foreclosure Timeline Charts, this is the amount of time from the beginning of the foreclosure process to the trustee sale.
These calculations of time to foreclosure in Sacramento and Sacramento foreclosure process time lines both use the filing of the Notice of Default as the initial day of the foreclosure process. It does not take into consideration the amount of time the homeowner made no payments before the NOD was filed. Depending on the bank, servicer and investor of each loan, this can be anywhere from 90 days to over two years…. since the last payment (The NOD legally cannot be filed until the loan is 60 days past due).
The legal foreclosure Time Lines in California and Time Line Chart for the
Legal Non-Judicial Foreclosure Process in California is:
Foreclosure Time lines in California
Day 1 Start of foreclosure
Homeowner is at least Sixty days late; Notice of Default is recorded
(loan must be at least 60 days late, or 90 days after last payment)
Start of foreclosure process is the Notice of Default Initial notice recorded after borrower fails to meet the terms of their loan.
Transfers property to winning bidder. By default this will be the lender if no bid higher than the lender’s opening bid is received.
There have been changes made to the California foreclosure timeline, by legislation passed in order to extend the foreclosure process in California, but realistically was only a foreclosure delay, because essentially all of the investor/servicer/banks have complied with the new law and and are exempt from the extended foreclosure time lines in California.
