Re: right of redemtion
If you are talking about the foreclosure of a deed of trust to a lender, no; the borrower's right to redeem the property expires 5 business days prior to the sale date (Civil Code section 2924c). The foreglosure of other liens may have a period of redeption. For instance, the foreclosure of homeowners association assessment lien may be redeemed for a period of 90 days.
