What is Notice of Sale / Trustee’s Sale?

A Notice of Sale (Notice of Trustee’s Sale) is the recorded announcement that sets the date, time, and place a foreclosed California property will be auctioned. It follows the Notice of Default after the required waiting period. The trustee’s sale itself is the public auction where the home is sold to the highest bidder.

Example: After the NOD waiting period passes, the trustee records a Notice of Sale scheduling a public auction on the courthouse steps for a specific date.
