How foreclosure sales work in Kern County
California mortgage foreclosures are usually non-judicial trustee sales. After the notice of default and a wait of at least three months, the trustee records, posts and publishes a notice of sale at least 20 days ahead, then auctions the property at the place the notice names. Many sales are postponed, so check the date right before the sale.
Bidders pay in cash or cashier's checks at the sale. There is no redemption afterward, but on 1-4 unit homes eligible tenant buyers and bidders may get a post-sale window under Civil Code 2924m.
Our California data comes from a trustee's published pending-sales report. It does not include every sale; more coming.

Kern County foreclosure FAQ
When is the next foreclosure sale in Kern County, California?
The next scheduled sale date in our data is October 28, 2026. California trustee sales are held at the place named in the notice of sale, usually a courthouse or civic-center entrance in the county; many are postponed, so confirm with the trustee first.
How does a California foreclosure reach a sale?
Most California foreclosures are non-judicial trustee sales under a deed of trust (Civ. Code 2924). The trustee records a notice of default, waits at least three months, then records, posts and publishes a notice of sale at least 20 days before the auction.
Can the former owner get the property back after the sale?
No. There is no right of redemption after a completed trustee sale. For 1-4 unit homes, eligible tenant buyers and some other bidders may get a short post-sale window to match or beat the winning bid (Civ. Code 2924m), so a sale may not be final on the day.
