Questions lenders ask

How much does a California foreclosure cost?

It depends on where the file resolves. Trustee fees are tiered by unpaid loan balance and step up at each stage: during the Notice of Default period, after the Notice of Trustee’s Sale is recorded, and at sale completion. Costs added to the trustee fee include title, publication, posting, recording, mailing, notary, and others, and they run per property. The calculator estimates the total at the three stages.

Are California foreclosure fees set by law?

Trustee fees are. The fee schedule is statutory, tiered by unpaid loan balance, and steps up as the file progresses. The other costs (title, publication, recording, mailing) vary by city and by title company. The calculator uses the current statutory schedule and published rate data.

What if the loan is secured by more than one property?

Each property is its own foreclosure file, with its own trustee fee, title, recording, mailing, posting, and publication costs. A loan secured by three properties means three foreclosure files. The calculator asks for the property count and prices the files accordingly.
