Data as of · sale counts recomputed nightly
Colorado law requires 110 days, and the notices we hold run a median of 54 days from first publication to the sale. That is shorter than the statutory minimum because the minimum runs from an earlier step — the recorded notice or the mailing to the borrower — while this counts from the day the notice first appeared in a newspaper.

Combined notice mailed 45 to 60 days before the first scheduled sale, under C.R.S. § 38-38-103(1)(b). In practice, a notice we hold in Colorado first appears in a newspaper a median of 54 days before the sale it announces, across 650 sales.
Colorado allows reinstatement: notice of intent to cure due 15 days before the sale, under C.R.S. § 38-38-104(1). The amount due is the arrears and the costs allowed, not the entire loan.
Junior lienors may redeem after the sale, on the statute's conditions, under C.R.S. § 38-38-302(1).
