Mortgage rates in Alberta are tied closely to the Bank of Canada’s policy rate. When the Bank raises or lowers its overnight lending rate, lenders typically adjust their prime rate in response. From there, each lender sets its own mortgage pricing based on the spread they need to cover costs and earn a margin. Your personal borrower profile also matters. Credit history, income stability, down payment size, and property type all play a role in the rate you actually qualify for.
A fixed rate mortgage stays the same for the length of your term. Many Alberta homeowners choose fixed rates because they offer predictable payments and protection against rising interest costs.A variable rate mortgage is linked to the lender’s prime rate and can change when the Bank of Canada adjusts its policy rate. While variable rates often start lower, they can increase during your term, which creates more uncertainty.
In Calgary and Edmonton, lenders compete heavily for market share, which often results in more aggressive pricing on standard detached homes and condos. Rural Alberta can be different. Lenders sometimes take a more cautious approach on acreages, hobby farms, or unique properties because of appraisal and resale concerns. That does not mean rates are always higher in rural areas, but it does mean lender appetite varies, and knowing which lenders are comfortable with these properties can make a big difference.

A fixed rate does not change during your term, giving you stable monthly payments. A variable rate is tied to the lender’s prime rate and can go up or down when the Bank of Canada makes changes.
Lenders can change rates at any time, but most shifts happen around the Bank of Canada’s scheduled rate announcements, which occur eight times a year.
Not necessarily. Advertised rates assume strong borrower profiles. Your credit score, debt levels, income, and property details will influence your actual rate.

Yes, investment property mortgages often have slightly higher rates, but I work with multiple lenders to find you the most competitive options.
Many lenders will offer the same rates, but some take a more conservative approach with rural or acreage properties. Working with a broker ensures you are matched with lenders who understand rural homes.
Lenders also consider your income stability, down payment size, debt-to-income ratio, loan-to-value ratio, and whether the mortgage is insured or uninsured.
