California is a hotbed of auction activity. All up and down the Golden State, you can find auctions of all types routinely held to accommodate the sheer volume of residents and wide range of demographics. A high growth and foreclosure rates have created a virtual mecca of various auction types. The most prevalent areas in the state are the Los Angeles, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Francisco, Modesto, and Stockton areas. Though not as frequent, both the far northern and southern regions of the state hold various auctions on a fairly regular basis.
