The department may, with leave of and upon the terms and conditions prescribed by the court, sell any real property of the financial institution of which it is in possession as receiver. The order of the court authorizing such sale shall state whether the sale shall be entirely for cash or partly for cash and partly for evidences of indebtedness and whether it shall be public or private. Each such sale of real property shall be confirmed by the court if all the terms and conditions of its order authorizing such sale have been complied with. If the real property is located in this state but in a county other than the county of the principal court, the department shall file a certified copy of all orders relating to the property in the office of the clerk of the superior court of the county where the real property is located.
