Surplus funds, often referred to simply as “surplus,” are the remaining funds generated from the sale of a foreclosed property when the auction price is higher than the total amount owed on the property. This surplus arises after satisfying all outstanding obligations, including the mortgage balance, taxes, liens, and any foreclosure-related expenses mandated by the court’s final judgment. For example, if a property with a foreclosure judgment of $200,000 sells at auction for $225,000, the surplus funds would be $25,000. Surplus funds, also known as excess proceeds or “overage,” are the amount of money left over after your foreclosed home has been sold at auction and all the lenders and other lienholders have been paid off. They are essentially the remaining equity that you had in the property.
While foreclosure can feel like an absolute loss, these funds can represent a beacon of potential financial relief – it is money that rightfully belongs to the former homeowner after all debts related to the foreclosure are paid off. Those with surplus money are encouraged to invest with the bank and are paid a certain rate of interest for the same. Surplus funds are also sometimes present when a homeowner has equity in the home at the time of the foreclosure sale. What are surplus funds/proceeds? If a parcel is sold at a foreclosure sale for an amount greater than the minimum bid.
When a lender forecloses on a property, it’s typically sold at a public auction. In California, a lender can foreclose either by going to trial or without going to trial, according to the Judicial Branch of California. Surplus liquidity refers to the excess funds or cash available in the banking system beyond the immediate requirements of banks and the economy.
Either way, the goal of foreclosure is to recover the amount owed by the homeowner. However, it’s not uncommon for these properties to fetch a higher price than the debt amount due to market conditions or property desirability. Surplus funds refer to the residual money left over after a property has been sold through foreclosure auction.
The surplus is calculated by subtracting the outstanding mortgage debt, accrued interest, fees, and any other associated foreclosure costs from the final sale price. The amount of money remaining after the subtraction constitutes what is called “surplus funds.” In another example, let's assume the price per barrel of oil drops, causing gas prices to dip below the price a driver is accustomed to shelling out at the pump. Funds are amounts of money that are available to be spent, especially money that is given to an organization or person for a particular purpose. Surplus Funds can be claimed by the foreclosed homeowner when excess funds/proceeds are left over after the sale of the property
