What we can and cannot tell you about Raymond values
We do not publish a price figure for Raymond. We do not have one we can stand behind, and a made-up number is worse than none when you are deciding whether to sell. A current opinion of value on your specific property is part of the free assessment.
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
A County of Warner town roughly 25 to 30 km south-east of Lethbridge, founded in 1901 on sugar-beet agriculture, and home to Canada's first rodeo — the Raymond Stampede has run since 1902.
Agriculture, historically sugar beets, in a town founded in 1901 — and the birthplace of Canada's first rodeo, which has run since 1902.
Agricultural income arrives seasonally and unevenly, which is entirely normal here and still awkward on a lender's forms. If your income follows the growing season, show the pattern across two or three years rather than one thin quarter — a lender responds to evidence of a cycle far better than to a single bad number without context.
