Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Re: Foreclosure in California

Until you're evicted by the marshals with a court order. That happens shortly after they get title in the foreclosure. Months probably.

There's often a big difference between the fastest-possible time line, default to eviction, and what really happens. Figure a minimum of 110 days from Notice of Default to trustee sale, then at least two weeks from sale to arrival of the sheriff, during which time there would be a notice to quit followed by an unlawful detainer service and default judgment or trial. That's about 124 days, but I'd say less than 1% proceed that fast. Maybe 150 or more days is more typical, but don't count on it, you could be unlucky and face an aggressive lender and an uncrowded court calendar.
