Fixed vs Variable Mortgage Rates: Should You Switch to Fixed?

If you currently have a variable-rate mortgage, you may be wondering whether now is the right time to switch to a fixed mortgage rate.

Just a couple of months ago, the mortgage-rate landscape looked different. Since then, many lenders have increased their fixed mortgage rates, while variable mortgage rates remain lower than many available fixed-rate options.

So, is switching from variable to fixed still the right move?

In this article and accompanying video, we take a closer look at the current fixed vs. variable mortgage rate conversation, why fixed rates have moved higher, and what variable-rate mortgage holders may want to consider before making a change.

Fixed vs. Variable: Why the Difference Matters

A fixed-rate mortgage provides payment and interest-rate certainty for the term of the mortgage, while a variable-rate mortgage can change as the underlying interest-rate environment changes.

When the gap between fixed and variable rates changes, the decision becomes more complicated.

For someone currently holding a variable mortgage, switching to a fixed rate may provide greater payment certainty—but it can also mean accepting a higher rate today.

Should You Lock Into a Fixed Rate?

There isn't one answer that works for every borrower.

Your decision can depend on:

  • Your current variable mortgage rate

  • The fixed rate being offered to you

  • The remaining term of your mortgage

  • Your mortgage balance

  • Your financial situation

  • Your comfort with changing payments

  • Your expectations and plans over the next few years

In the video, I explain why if I were personally in this situation today, I would be inclined to remain variable and watch how the market develops.

However, that's a personal perspective—not financial advice or a recommendation for anyone else.

Every mortgage situation is different, and borrowers should consider their own circumstances before deciding whether to switch.

Don't Make the Decision Based on Rate Alone

The lowest advertised rate isn't necessarily the most suitable mortgage for everyone.

Before switching from variable to fixed, it's important to understand the rate difference, mortgage terms, prepayment privileges, penalties and potential costs of making the switch.

Sometimes the bigger question isn't simply:

“Which rate is lower?”

It may be:

“Which mortgage structure makes the most sense for my financial situation and risk tolerance?”

Watch the Full Video

In this video, I break down the current fixed vs. variable mortgage rate situation and explain what has changed recently and what variable-rate mortgage holders may want to think about before locking in.

Whether you're currently in a variable mortgage, considering a refinance, or simply trying to understand where mortgage rates are heading, this discussion can help you understand the factors that may influence your decision.

Calgary Real Estate Market Update 2026: What Happened in the First Three Quarters and What to Expect in Q4

September 1, 2026

The Calgary real estate market has entered the final stretch of 2026 with a noticeably different market environment than what buyers and sellers experienced over the past few years.

After several years of strong demand, limited inventory and significant price growth, Calgary's housing market has moved toward more balanced conditions in 2026. Buyers have more choice in many areas, while sellers are facing a market where pricing, presentation and strategy matter more than they did during the previous seller's market.

As we enter the final quarter of the year, the big question is:

Will Calgary home prices stabilize, continue to soften, or begin to recover in Q4?

Based on the latest Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®) data and the broader market trends, the answer will likely depend heavily on property type, location and price range.


Calgary Real Estate Market 2026: The Big Picture

The biggest story of Calgary's 2026 housing market has been the shift from a strong seller's market toward more balanced conditions.

CREB's 2026 forecast anticipated that balanced to buyer's-market conditions would persist throughout the year, depending on the type of property. The main factors behind this shift include increased housing supply, slower migration and more competition from newly built homes.

This doesn't mean the Calgary market is weak across the board.

In fact, different segments of the market are behaving very differently.

Detached and semi-detached homes have generally remained much more stable, while apartment condominiums and some row-home segments have experienced significantly more pressure.

That distinction is extremely important for anyone considering buying or selling in Calgary.


Q1 2026: The Market Started the Year in Transition

The first quarter of 2026 continued the transition that began during the second half of 2025.

Buyers entered the year with more choices than they had experienced during the tightest periods of the Calgary market. At the same time, sellers had to adjust to a market where homes could no longer rely on extremely low inventory to generate multiple offers.

CREB's 2026 outlook pointed to elevated supply across the new-home, resale and rental markets, combined with more typical levels of demand. This was expected to prolong the time required to absorb available resale inventory.

What did this mean for buyers?

Buyers generally had:

  • More properties to choose from

  • More negotiating room on certain properties

  • Less pressure to make immediate decisions

  • More opportunities to compare resale homes with new construction

  • Better opportunities in higher-density housing segments

What did this mean for sellers?

Sellers needed to be more strategic.

A home that was overpriced could sit on the market longer, while well-priced and well-presented properties could still attract strong buyer interest.

The market was no longer simply about “put it on the market and wait for an offer.”

Pricing correctly from day one became increasingly important.


Q2 2026: Supply Became an Increasingly Important Story

As Calgary moved into the spring and early summer market, inventory and supply became even more important.

By May, Calgary's inventory had reached approximately 6,752 units. While this was similar to the previous year, inventory was about 11% above the longer-term average, largely because of increased supply in apartment and row-style homes. Detached inventory, however, remained tighter.

This created a market with two very different stories.

Detached homes remained relatively resilient

Detached homes continued to benefit from comparatively stronger demand and lower supply.

Condos faced greater competition

Apartment condominiums were dealing with significantly more supply.

CREB noted that increased rental and new-home supply, combined with softer demand, was putting pressure on resale apartment condominiums.

For buyers, this created opportunities.

For condo sellers, it meant that pricing and positioning became increasingly important.


Q3 2026: Calgary Market Shows More Signs of Balance

As we entered the third quarter, the market continued to cool from the stronger conditions seen in previous years.

In July 2026, Calgary recorded 1,902 sales, down approximately 9% from July 2025. New listings were also lower, at approximately 3,324, down 15% year-over-year.

The fact that both sales and new listings declined is important.

This is not simply a story of buyers disappearing.

Some sellers are also choosing not to list, which is helping prevent inventory from rising dramatically in some segments.

Calgary benchmark price

In July, Calgary's total residential benchmark price was approximately $569,200, about 2% lower than the previous year.

However, the overall number doesn't tell the entire story.


Property Type Matters More Than Ever

One of the biggest lessons from Calgary's 2026 real estate market is that there is no single Calgary housing market.

There are several different markets operating at the same time.

Detached Homes

Detached homes have been relatively resilient.

In July, the benchmark price for detached homes was approximately $743,900, down nearly 2% from the previous year. Months of supply were close to three months, which CREB characterized as generally balanced.

Some communities are performing significantly better than others.

In Calgary's West District and City Centre, for example, prices have been more resilient, while some northern areas have experienced greater price adjustments.

For detached-home sellers, location and pricing strategy remain critical.


Semi-Detached Homes

The semi-detached segment has also remained relatively stable.

By July, the benchmark price was approximately $691,000, with year-to-date sales remaining relatively consistent with 2025. Months of supply remained below three months for most of the year.

This segment continues to benefit from buyers looking for an alternative to detached homes while remaining more affordable than many detached properties.


Row Homes and Townhouses

Row housing has experienced more pressure.

Year-to-date sales were down approximately 15% by July, while the benchmark price was around $418,500, approximately 6% below the previous year. Months of supply had moved close to four months.

Competition from new construction is particularly important in this segment.

Buyers can compare an existing resale property against a brand-new home, sometimes with builder incentives and modern finishes.

That makes it especially important for sellers of older townhomes and row homes to price competitively.


Apartment Condos: The Most Challenged Segment

If there is one segment that has experienced the greatest pressure in Calgary's 2026 market, it is the apartment condominium market.

By July, Calgary's apartment benchmark price had fallen to approximately $297,600, more than 8% below the previous year and approximately 13% below the peak reported in 2024.

There were approximately 1,999 apartment units available in the resale market, and sales were down nearly 26% year-to-date.

The result has been a buyer's market in many areas of the apartment segment.

For condo buyers, this can create opportunities to negotiate.

For condo owners considering selling, it reinforces the importance of realistic pricing, strong presentation and understanding the competition before listing.


What About Calgary's Overall Inventory?

One of the most interesting developments in 2026 is that inventory has not simply continued climbing indefinitely.

According to CREB's latest available statistics, Calgary had approximately 6,842 active listings in August 2026, compared with 6,901 in August 2025.

At the same time, August sales were approximately 1,534, compared with 1,803 a year earlier.

This means the market is experiencing lower activity on both sides.

That is an important distinction.

A lower number of sales doesn't automatically mean prices will fall dramatically.

If sellers also reduce the number of new listings, supply can remain relatively controlled.


What Should We Expect in Calgary's Real Estate Market in Q4 2026?

The fourth quarter will likely be a market of selective opportunities rather than dramatic market-wide movements.

Here are the trends I will be watching closely.

1. Buyers Will Have More Negotiating Power in Some Segments

Buyers looking at condos, townhomes and properties with longer days on market may have more negotiating leverage.

Sellers who have been sitting on the market for several weeks without an offer may become more willing to negotiate on price or terms.

However, this won't necessarily apply to every detached home.

Well-priced properties in desirable Calgary communities can still attract strong interest.


2. Detached Homes Could Remain More Stable

Detached inventory remains relatively tighter compared with higher-density housing.

That could help support prices in desirable communities, particularly where there is limited resale inventory and strong buyer demand.

I would expect more stability rather than a major price correction in many detached-home segments during Q4.

But again, Calgary is highly neighbourhood-specific.


3. Condos Could Continue to Face Pressure

The apartment condominium market is likely to remain one of the most challenging segments during the final quarter.

The large amount of new supply, competition from rental properties and slower demand for some higher-density homes could continue putting pressure on resale condo prices. CREB has also noted that more than 17,000 apartment-style units were under construction, adding to the supply challenge.

For buyers, this could mean opportunities to negotiate.

For sellers, waiting for the market to “come back” may not always be the best strategy.

The right decision depends on the property's location, condition, price point and the seller's timeline.


Will Calgary Home Prices Rise or Fall in Q4?

My expectation is that Calgary's overall market will remain relatively balanced in Q4, with price performance varying considerably by property type and location.

I would not expect a repeat of the rapid price growth Calgary experienced during the strongest seller's-market periods.

At the same time, I would also be cautious about predicting a major citywide crash.

The market fundamentals are much more nuanced.

Detached and semi-detached homes: likely to remain relatively stable.

Row homes/townhouses: continued competition and selective price pressure.

Apartment condos: greater buyer leverage and continued price pressure where supply remains elevated.

Luxury/high-end properties: likely to depend heavily on pricing and buyer demand.


What Does This Mean for Calgary Buyers?

For buyers, Q4 2026 could be an interesting time to enter the market.

You may have more time to compare properties and negotiate than you would have had during a strong seller's market.

However, the goal shouldn't simply be to find the property with the biggest price reduction.

Instead, buyers should look at:

  • Location

  • Future resale potential

  • Property condition

  • Condo fees and financial health of the corporation

  • New construction competition

  • Comparable sales

  • Financing costs

  • Long-term affordability

A good deal isn't necessarily the cheapest house. It's the right property at the right price.


What Does This Mean for Calgary Sellers?

For sellers, the message is equally clear:

Strategy matters more in a balanced market.

Pricing your home too high can result in longer days on market, repeated price reductions and potentially selling for less than you could have achieved with the right strategy from the beginning.

Before listing, sellers should understand:

  1. What similar homes are currently listed for

  2. What comparable homes have actually sold for

  3. How much competition is coming from new construction

  4. How long competing properties have been on the market

  5. What buyers are currently looking for

  6. How the property should be prepared and marketed

The objective shouldn't be to simply become another listing on MLS.

The objective should be to position the property correctly from day one.


The Calgary Real Estate Market Is Becoming More Balanced — But Not Equal

If there is one takeaway from the first three quarters of 2026, it is this:

Don't judge Calgary's real estate market by one headline number.

The overall benchmark price may be down approximately 2% year-over-year, but detached homes, semi-detached homes, row homes and apartment condos are experiencing very different market conditions.

The same is true geographically.

A neighbourhood with limited inventory can behave very differently from a community with several competing new developments.

This is why buyers and sellers need property-specific and neighbourhood-specific advice, rather than relying only on citywide statistics.


Final Thoughts: What to Watch in Q4 2026

As Calgary enters the final quarter of 2026, I expect the market to remain more balanced than what we experienced during the rapid-growth years.

The biggest factors to watch will be:

  • Mortgage rates and borrowing costs

  • Calgary's employment and economic conditions

  • Migration trends

  • New-home construction

  • Resale inventory

  • Consumer confidence

  • Apartment and rental supply

  • Buyer demand heading into 2027

The Calgary market isn't simply “hot” or “cold.”

It is becoming increasingly selective.

For buyers, that can create opportunities.

For sellers, it means preparation, pricing and marketing matter more than ever.

And for anyone considering making a move before the end of 2026, the most important question isn't necessarily:

“Where is the Calgary market going?”

It is:

“How does the current market affect my specific property, neighbourhood, price range and timeline?”

That is where professional, local market analysis can make a meaningful difference.


Calgary Real Estate Market Q4 2026: Bottom Line

Buyers: More choice and negotiating opportunities in several segments.

Sellers: Strong properties can still sell, but pricing and presentation are critical.

Detached homeowners: Generally more stable conditions compared with higher-density housing.

Condo owners: Greater competition and price pressure may continue.

Investors: Opportunities may exist, but property selection and cash-flow analysis are increasingly important.

Overall Calgary market: Expect a more balanced and selective market rather than a return to the extreme seller's-market conditions of previous years.

If you're thinking about buying or selling a home in Calgary before the end of 2026, understanding the numbers for your specific community and property type is more important than simply following the citywide average.

Top 5 Mistakes First-Time Home Buyers Make in Calgary (And How to Avoid Them)

Buying your first home in Calgary is exciting—but it can also be overwhelming if you don’t have the right guidance. Many first-time buyers make avoidable mistakes that can cost time, money, and stress.

Here are the top 5 mistakes to watch out for—and how to avoid them.


❌ 1. Not Getting Pre-Approved Before House Hunting

One of the biggest mistakes is starting your home search without knowing your budget.

👉 Why it’s a problem:

  • You may fall in love with a home you can’t afford

  • Sellers won’t take your offer seriously

✔️ Solution:
Get pre-approved first so you know your exact buying power and can act quickly when the right home comes up.


❌ 2. Ignoring Additional Costs

Many buyers focus only on the purchase price—but there are other expenses involved.

👉 Hidden costs include:

  • Closing costs

  • Property taxes

  • Home insurance

  • Maintenance and repairs

✔️ Solution:
Budget for an extra 1.5%–4% of the purchase price to cover these costs.


❌ 3. Skipping the Home Inspection

In a competitive market, some buyers are tempted to skip inspections to win a deal.

👉 Why this is risky:

  • You might miss costly issues

  • Repairs can add up quickly after possession

✔️ Solution:
Always include a home inspection condition—it protects your investment.


❌ 4. Letting Emotions Drive Decisions

Buying a home is emotional—but letting feelings take over can lead to overpaying or rushing decisions.

👉 Common mistakes:

  • Overbidding in a bidding war

  • Ignoring red flags

  • Choosing the wrong location

✔️ Solution:
Stay focused on your budget, needs, and long-term goals.


❌ 5. Not Working With the Right Realtor

Trying to navigate the market alone can cost you opportunities and money.

👉 Without the right guidance:

  • You may overpay

  • Miss better properties

  • Struggle with negotiations

✔️ Solution:
Work with an experienced local expert who understands the Calgary market and can guide you every step of the way.


🏡 Bonus Tip: Don’t Wait for the “Perfect” Time

Many buyers try to time the market—but the truth is:

👉 The best time to buy is when you’re financially ready

Calgary still offers strong value compared to other major Canadian cities, making it a great place for first-time buyers to enter the market.


📞 Thinking About Buying Your First Home?

If you're planning to buy in Calgary, I can help you:

  • Understand the process

  • Find the right property

  • Negotiate the best deal


🔑 Final Thoughts

📊 Current Market Overview in Calgary

Calgary remains one of the most attractive real estate markets in Canada due to its relative affordability, strong economy, and steady population growth. Compared to cities like Toronto and Vancouver, Calgary offers more value for buyers while still delivering solid long-term appreciation.

Low inventory in many communities continues to drive competition, especially in the detached and semi-detached segments. At the same time, rising interest rates have caused some buyers to be more cautious, balancing demand across the market.

  • Get pre-approved before starting your search

  • Be ready to act quickly on well-priced homes

What sellers should focus on:

  • Pricing your home correctly from day one

  • Professional staging and high-quality marketing

  • Leveraging online exposure (especially video marketing)

  • Choosing the right listing agent

Homes that are priced well and marketed properly are still selling quickly, often with strong offers.


📍 Top Communities to Watch in Calgary

Certain areas continue to stand out due to lifestyle, amenities, and long-term growth potential:

  • SE Calgary (family-friendly and newer developments)

  • SW Calgary (established neighborhoods with strong demand)

  • NW Calgary (great for investors and rental potential)

Each area offers unique advantages depending on your budget and lifestyle.


📈 Is Now a Good Time to Buy or Sell?
