Update: 10 California tax sales now published in full, free, with every parcel matched to the county assessor's own record

Hi everyone! I'm following up on the California tax-deed project I posted about a while back: [https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/s/IOTkVm06mZ](https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/s/IOTkVm06mZ)

What it does, briefly: every California tax-defaulted sale I can get a list for, published in full and free. Each parcel is matched to the county assessor's own record, so you see the opening bid next to what the county says the land is worth. Sort it, filter it, download the whole thing as a CSV. No signup, no paywall, sources named on every page.

What's been added since last time:

* 10 sales, 2,877 parcels. Los Angeles (1,252, the biggest California list this year), Kern (1,011), Fresno, Butte, Placer, El Dorado, Mariposa, Santa Cruz, San Bernardino, Riverside.
* Post-auction results. When a sale closes I go back and record what actually sold and for how much, so a pre-sale read can be checked against what really happened instead of quietly filed away.
* Live redemption tracking. Parcels paid off before the auction drop off the tables. Fresno has lost 53% of its list since June, so the list you read early is not the list you bid on.

Three things out of the data I didn't expect:

* At Butte's August auction, 13 of the 28 parcels that sold went at exactly the opening bid. Far less competition than I assumed was out there.
* The parcels the assessor carries at almost nothing are the ones bidders fight hardest over. One valued at $4 sold for $31,236.
* In every county I've measured, the parcels redeemed before the sale are the valuable ones. What reaches the auction is mostly what nobody thought worth rescuing.

Coming up: Los Angeles October 17-20, Placer October 21, El Dorado November 6, Santa Clara once they publish.
