Summary
In California, if a foreclosure auction is postponed, it can be rescheduled within the original sale notice period (usually 21 days) or within 10 business days if postponed on the auction day. The mortgage company must notify you of any new auction dates. You can sell your property before the auction to pay off the mortgage. After a judicial foreclosure, you have a one-year redemption period to buy back your property if it sold for less than what you owed.

Can I still sell the property to pay off the new buyer and mortgage company if I don’t vacate the premises
In California, you can sell your property even if it's in foreclosure, as long as the sale is completed before the foreclosure auction. However, you must pay off the mortgage balance and any liens on the property. The new buyer would typically expect the property to be vacated upon purchase.
Can I do it after the auction. It is a judicial foreclosure, and it would be I think, covered under redemption.
In California, after a judicial foreclosure:
- A one-year redemption period is allowed in which you can buy back your property.
- This only applies if the property sold for less than what you owed.
- You must pay the purchase price at the auction plus interest and costs.
