Auctions & what's moving

No agency publishes one authoritative trustee-sale calendar, so we never print one — here is what actually exists, next to this week's real Hayward headlines.

Every source we check →

  • Alameda County tax-defaulted salesRun from the county’s own tax-sale page — every source we check is listed on /auctions/.
  • Trustee salesPrivate aggregators carry the actual lender foreclosures; no central California calendar exists. We watch four of them and bid for you.
  • Came off the market unsoldListings leave without selling every month. Registered members see those addresses.
