Results are out for the Sudbury sale a couple of days ago.  Damn if there aren't at least two that I would have love to have won for the prices they went.  Specifically that house / old legion hall that went for 40K.  That's a steal if there are no unknown environmental issues.  I probably passed it up because minimum was 38k or somewhere around there and I figured it would at least go for double that.

However same sale I think I spotted where someone may have gotten screwed if they did not research.  Ad on ontariotaxsales.ca says there was a house on the property, Google ariel image used confirms it.  But if you go look at the street view and look back through the historical, it shows a house there up to around 2020, and then an empty lot after that.  Buyer beware, I guess...

I was thinking of bidding on that gutted historical house on 6th concession.  I got sick leading up to it and decided not to put the effort in.  I would have had second place bid.  For the big diference, I am almost sure the winner was the neighbor right beside it not wanting new people in his oversized shed


As an aside, anybody got the results of Head, Clara and Maria?  Wonder what the motel went for...

The bigger worry out of that report is the recommendation that Tax Sales list the minimum bid as the actual value (or assessed value I would assume) instead of the taxes owed.  That would pretty much kill the tax sale game.
