Why a court sale usually produces less
A marketed sale is built to create competition — preparation, pricing, exposure, and time for more than one buyer to want the place. A court-supervised sale is built to be defensible rather than maximised, and buyers price in what they can see about the circumstances.
The gap is not the bank's money. Once the mortgage, the arrears and the costs are paid, the surplus is yours — so a lower sale price comes straight out of your side.
Three numbers to get
- A written payout figure from your lender — larger than the arrears alone, because it includes costs.
- Everything registered against your title, not just the first mortgage.
- A current opinion of value from someone who is not trying to buy the property.
Together they tell you whether you are protecting equity or managing a shortfall — two different situations with two different plans.
Local context

Lower prices cut both ways: entry was easier, but there is often less equity cushion than in Calgary itself, so timing matters more here.
