I know there are a few around, mainly in the very original neighbourhoods of the city, but they certainly aren't common. They're generally fine, but I personally wouldn't buy one because it'll make it more difficult to sell in the future, imo, as potential buyers react like the OP in this thread.
Edited to add: Almost all of the wood foundations in Calgary are in neighbourhoods where land value increases in the inner city make it potentially worth it, as if it doesn't sell as a house it would sell as a lot for the next infill.
