Most mortgages have a power of sale clause, so lenders can foreclose without going to court (non-judicial). These are the most common type of foreclosures in California.
It takes several months for a lender to foreclose on a California property. If everything goes ing to schedule, the process typically takes approximately 120 days — about four months — but the process can take as long as 200 or more days to conclude.

The new owner of the home only needs to give you a 3-day notice to move. If you do not move, the new owner can begin the eviction process by filing a lawsuit against you in court called an Unlawful Detainer.

There are two answers, each equally true: California statutes tell us the minimum time for an unpaid lender to foreclose: about 4 months, from start to sale. In practice, it's far longer. Since the mortgage meltdown in 2008, lenders very seldom move a foreclosure as fast as the law allows.
