Yuba City, CA › Foreclosure
Can I Sell My Yuba City House in Foreclosure?
If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it. Often, yes: you may still sell a California home before a nonjudicial mortgage foreclosure sale, if the payoff, title work, and closing can be completed in time. The trustee's sale date and property-specific figures need to be confirmed; an offer does not change a scheduled date.

How we can help with a Yuba City house
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We buy in Yuba City and Sutter County. You receive a written offer and written terms before you commit, and a title company handles the closing.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the county documentary transfer tax and any city transfer tax. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate items; the title company confirms the figures for the property.
You don't need to pay off your back taxes before we settle. We buy houses with back taxes and liens — payoffs get handled through the closing, not by you upfront. The recorded claims and available sale proceeds still have to be reviewed for the specific property.
Mortgage trustee sale or property-tax sale?
California home loans commonly use a deed of trust. Most mortgage foreclosures are nonjudicial: the trustee named in the deed of trust runs the process without a court lawsuit. A property-tax sale for delinquent taxes is a different process. Keep its notice and dates separate from a mortgage trustee-sale notice; the mortgage deadlines below do not tell you the deadline for a tax sale. Follow the office and contact instructions on the notice you received.
For a mortgage foreclosure, the trustee records a notice of default. After a 90-day cure period, a notice of sale can follow; it must be posted, published, and recorded at least 20 days before the sale. You can usually reinstate by catching up until five business days before the sale, or pay off the loan up to the sale itself. There is no right of redemption after a nonjudicial trustee's sale.
A trustee can postpone a sale in some circumstances. For a one-to-four-unit home, California law also allows limited 45-day postponements tied to a broker listing and a qualifying purchase agreement. Do not assume a sale date has changed: confirm it with the trustee, lender, title company, or an attorney.
If the payoff is the problem
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before. Ask the lender for a current payoff; a title company can help identify recorded liens and closing figures. What a lender will accept depends on the particular loan and sale.
What happens next
- Contact us with the property address and the trustee's sale date, if one is scheduled.
- We review the house and provide a written cash offer and written terms before you commit.
- A title company checks title, the payoff, recorded liens, and the closing figures with you.
- If you accept and the required steps can be completed in time, the title company coordinates closing.
It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.
Sutter County records and local help
Yuba City is in Sutter County. The county's Clerk-Recorder handles documents affecting title to local real property; the Assessor is the county office for property-assessment information. These links are starting points, not a live trustee-sale schedule. Use the recorded sale notice and confirm its current date with the trustee.
- Sutter County Clerk-Recorder real-property records for recorded documents affecting title.
- Sutter County Assessor for property-assessment information.
- If your notice concerns a property-tax sale, follow the contact instructions on that notice and verify its dates with the office named there; do not use mortgage trustee-sale deadlines.
Foreclosure questions and contact
Questions about foreclosure in Yuba City
Can I sell my Yuba City house before a trustee's sale?
If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it. You may be able to sell before the sale if the payoff, title work, and closing can be completed in time. Confirm the current date and payoff with the trustee or lender and a title company.
What are the California mortgage-foreclosure deadlines?
After the trustee records a notice of default, a 90-day cure period comes before a notice of sale can follow. The notice of sale must be posted, published, and recorded at least 20 days before the sale. You can usually reinstate by catching up until five business days before the sale, or pay off the loan up to the sale itself. Confirm the dates and figures for your property.
Is a property-tax sale the same as a mortgage trustee sale?
No. A mortgage foreclosure under a deed of trust and a sale for delinquent property taxes are separate processes with separate notices and dates. Do not apply mortgage trustee-sale deadlines to a tax-sale notice; follow the contact instructions on that notice.
What if my payoff is more than the house is worth?
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before. Get a current payoff and have the property-specific title and closing figures reviewed; no particular reduction is promised.
Do I need to repair or clean out the house before asking about an offer?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can tell us what you know about the house and its condition when you contact us.
