But as we advise our clients, true affordability depends less on interest rate speculation and more on the practical room in your household budget. If your mortgage is up for renewal soon, early planning is key. We\u2019ve found that the first renewal offer is rarely the most competitive, so it\u2019s well worth comparing options to ensure your payments fit comfortably. Many buyers are also leveraging suite income or help from family to make ownership work, but it\u2019s critical to understand exactly how lenders will assess that rental income. On the supply front, we\u2019re tracking new federal projects that are set to break ground later this year, though national housing starts are still expected to dip in 2026 compared to 2025. Whether you\u2019re buying, renewing, or refinancing, our advice is to model out sustainable payments, compare renewal terms carefully, and weigh any refinancing options against potential penalties. Our team\u2019s hands-on experience and analytical approach mean we\u2019re here to help you navigate these decisions with confidence.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our Calgary market and throughout Alberta, we\u2019re seeing some welcome stability\u2014policy rates are holding steady and inflation pressures are easing.
