PURCHASE A HOME AT AUCTION

In 2021, California passed a law (SB1079) allowing homeowners priority to purchase a home at a foreclosure auction over an investor. Instead of investors purchasing residential properties, fixing them up, and selling them to homeowners at market price, homeowners can now purchase properties straight from the auction process at 30% to 50% below market.

WHAT IS SB 1079?

In 2021, California passed a law (SB1079) allowing homeowners priority to purchase a home at a foreclosure auction if they intend to make the home their primary residence. With SB 1079 passing, we can now help homeowners get a significant discount on their homes. SB 1079 amends the foreclosure sale process to permit homeowners to purchase the property in foreclosure both at and after the foreclosure sale auction, subject to certain requirements. Homeowners now have two options if they want to purchase a Property at auction:

Option 1 - Homeowners can purchase the Property at auction and the sale is final. The homeowner now owns the Property!

Option 2 - Homeowners can participate in a post foreclosure sale process. This is a 45 day period where only certain bidders can make a valid bid on the property. No investors are allowed. This allows homeowners time to secure financing and do their due diligence on the Property. Learn more by giving us a call. We are happy to discuss the process with you!
