Foreclosures & Judicial Sales in Red Deer, Alberta | Donna Empringham REALTOR®
Looking for a foreclosure or judicial sale property in Red Deer or Central Alberta?
Buying a foreclosure or judicial sale can be different from a traditional real estate purchase. These properties may offer opportunities for buyers, but the purchase process, property condition, timelines and terms of sale can require additional consideration.
With more than 20 years of experience in Red Deer and Central Alberta real estate, Donna Empringham, REALTOR® with Royal LePage Network Realty Corp., can help buyers understand the process, evaluate properties and prepare an offer appropriate for the type of sale.
What Is a Judicial Sale in Alberta?
A judicial sale can occur when a property is in foreclosure and the Court orders the property to be sold as part of the foreclosure process. Unlike a conventional real estate transaction, the sale is subject to requirements established by the Court.
For buyers, this can mean a different purchase process, with specific terms, timelines and conditions that should be understood before submitting an offer.
Buying a Foreclosure or Judicial Sale in Red Deer
Foreclosure and judicial sale properties in Red Deer and Central Alberta can include detached homes, condominiums, acreages and other types of real estate.
Depending on the particular property and Court order, buyers should be prepared for differences involving property access, representations and warranties, conditions and the process required to complete the sale.
Judicial sale offers in Alberta typically include a Schedule A explaining that the Court makes no representations about the property and that the buyer is purchasing it “As Is, Where Is.”
Understanding the terms attached to a particular property before preparing an offer is an important part of the process.
Things to Consider Before Making an Offer
When considering a foreclosure or judicial sale property, buyers should carefully investigate the property's condition, financing requirements, available documentation and the specific terms attached to the sale.
Every property and judicial sale is different. Buyers should obtain appropriate independent legal, financing and property-inspection advice where applicable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there foreclosure properties for sale in Red Deer?
Foreclosure and judicial sale properties can become available in Red Deer and throughout Central Alberta. Availability changes as properties are listed and sold. Contact me if you would like help identifying current foreclosure and judicial sale opportunities through the MLS® System.
What does “As Is, Where Is” mean on a judicial sale?
Judicial sale documentation typically provides that the Court makes no representations about the property and that the buyer purchases it “As Is, Where Is.” Buyers should carefully review the documentation associated with the particular listing and obtain appropriate professional advice.
Can I view a judicial sale property before making an offer?
Sometimes, but access can depend on the particular court order and circumstances. Some judicial sale properties may permit showings, while others may have restrictions on access.
Can I have a home inspection on a foreclosure property?
The ability to include conditions or conduct an inspection depends on the terms applicable to the particular property and sale. Buyers should review those terms carefully before submitting an offer.
Do I need a lawyer when purchasing a judicial sale?
Because judicial sales involve court-related documentation and legal considerations, buyers should obtain independent legal advice regarding the particular transaction.
