Buyer’s Guide: Calgary Judicial Sales, Court Ordered Sales, Foreclosures (Part 2)

As I was gathering information for this post yesterday, Outlook pinged “new mail” several times.   My foreclosure email-notifier was sending me the latest listings.

Yesterday over 10 were listed, with 4 being from the same condominium complex in Connaught.   (Those 4 units were listed for $299,900 a few months ago, but have been since foreclosed and are now listed for under $200k.)

 A Sunalta complex has 9 units in foreclosure.  Bankview & Penbrooke have the next highest amount of foreclosed/judicial sales currently listed.  

Here are the current ones listed on MLS that I could find:

Interestingly, back in March 2008 I wrote on my blog:   “Foreclosures/Judicial sales are not all that common in Calgary. There are currently 8 listed on the MLS.” 

 Below is a bird’s eye view of most of the SFH and Condo foreclosure locations.

Tumbling home values boost mortgage defaults in Calgary

*The reason I say “majority” is that foreclosed and judicial sales can be sneaky to find.  In our MLXchange program, while the majority are listed as “In-Foreclosure” under the Ownership field, some are just found by searching for “judicial sale” in the private comments, and others are found by searching for bank names under the “Seller” field.
