Taking A Look At Foreclosures In California

By Pamela McGee

If you live in California, you may be worried about your home - or you may be interested in homes about to become available. Foreclosures in California are taking place more and more often, and some people benefit from them, while others are badly hurt. Whatever position you're in, it's good to prepare yourself.

If you have a home, and for some reason aren't able to make a payment one month, it will go into default. However, this isn't any reason for you to panic. Almost nobody reacts and once you get the payment in, everything should okay. It's when this is repeated that you have to start worrying.

Things really become a problem if the home owner continues to miss payments. Three or four times later, a record of notice of default is written. This will be kept around for up to ten days, at which point it will be sent to the home, letting the people who live there know things are getting serious.

Still, this isn't a sign that foreclosure is unavoidable. They'll have a decent amount of time to make those payments - usually several months. Also, companies are usually open to negotiations and will even offer loans on terms with the back payments to get things back on track.

Sometimes, though, no solution can be found, and in that case things will start moving directly towards foreclosure. A notice is sent, and during a period on hold, the IRS is typically notified as well. From there, there are twenty five days before the house goes on sale - for twenty of those the owner will be able to make a last bid.

Once time runs out, though, the home will be made available in places like public auctions. Those who are interested in buying these homes will come here to go after them. In this one person's loss is another's gain - but everyone is going to try their hardest to save the place where they live. - 23305
