🏡 Saskatoon has an empty tax-title lot in Silverwood Heights up for tender, and the reserve bid is $235,000.
The property is 430 Wakabayashi Crescent. The City lists it as residential vacant land: a lot 57 feet wide and 108 feet deep, 6,313 square feet, zoned R1A. It is being sold under The Tax Enforcement Act.
Two weeks ago we shared the City's other tax-title tender, a 1971 house in College Park on a 7,500 square foot lot, with a reserve of $255,000. This one is a smaller lot with nothing on it, and its reserve is $20,000 lower. Two City tenders, one with a house and one without, priced $20,000 apart.
If the satellite picture looks wrong, it is the imagery. It is older and still shows a house on this lot. The photo in the City's tender package, taken this fall, shows the lot cleared down to dirt and grass, with houses on either side.
How it works:
• Sealed tenders to Saskatoon Land by 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 19, on the City's own tender form
• The reserve bid is $235,000, so that is the floor
• A certified cheque or bank draft for $2,000 plus GST ($2,100) goes in with the bid
• One bid per bidder, no conditional bids, and bids stand for 14 days after closing
• The successful bidder signs a sale agreement within 30 days and pays in full by possession, no later than January 18
• GST applies to the price, and the buyer pays the title transfer fees
The City says services run in the street beside the lot, and that the cost of connecting to them is the buyer's.
One honest note. A bid here cannot be conditional, so financing and your homework both have to be done before November 19. Because a house stood here until recently, ask the City what is left below ground, such as an old foundation or service lines, and what connecting will cost. Check the R1A rules with the City's planning office before you plan a build.
