Fixed or Variable? How to Choose a Mortgage After the September Rate Hold
With the Bank of Canada keeping its policy rate steady at 2.25%, many homeowners and buyers are weighing the benefits of fixed versus variable mortgage rates. Fixed rates are on the rise, offering predictability and stability—ideal for those who want peace of mind knowing their payments won’t change. On the other hand, variable rates might start lower but can fluctuate, especially in an inflationary environment, which brings potential payment risks. At 911 Mortgage Brokers, we believe every homeowner’s situation is unique. Before making a decision, it’s important to consider your overall financial picture and comfort with risk. Our team has experience guiding clients through every scenario, ensuring you find the mortgage that truly fits your needs. Remember, at 911 Mortgage Brokers, we work for you—not the bank. WE’VE GOT YOUR BACK!

Canadian Fixed Mortgage Rates Rise
We’re seeing a notable shift in the Canadian mortgage landscape as major banks have raised select fixed mortgage rates—some by as much as 20 basis points, especially on 3- and 5-year terms. Lenders across the country have followed suit, with adjustments ranging from 5 to 40 basis points on 1- to 5-year options, most commonly in the 15 to 30 basis point range. This movement closely tracks the Canada 5-year government bond yield, which recently hit a new 52-week high near 3.7% before easing, but remains elevated. The upward momentum has been fueled by a global bond selloff amid energy inflation concerns, despite a dip in crude below US$105. Even after this slight retreat, the 5-year yield is still 23 basis points higher than its September 8 close, keeping pressure on fixed mortgage rates. At 911 Mortgage Brokers, we navigate these changes with you in mind, leveraging our broad network and advanced technology to help you access the right mortgage solution—no matter your unique situation. Remember, we work for you, not the bank. WE’VE GOT YOUR BACK!

Ontario, B.C. Homebuyers Team Up for Mortgage Success: Equifax
The latest Equifax report highlights a key trend: while Canada’s mortgage market remains steady at $1.97 trillion in balances, homeowners in Ontario and B.C. are experiencing a noticeable rise in severe mortgage delinquencies. We’re also seeing more first-time buyers turn to joint mortgages—an option that can open doors, but also requires careful planning. Renewals are another area to watch, as shifting rates and market conditions mean that lender strategies must be tailored to each province’s unique needs.

At 911 Mortgage Brokers, we understand that every homeowner’s situation is different.

What to Know Before a Canadian Mortgage Application

10/07/2026

Canada's Affordability Improves as Fixed Rates Rise
A lot of headlines talk about improving affordability as fixed rates rise in Canada, but when you look closer, there just aren’t enough local details to draw real conclusions. The recent updates covered national averages and a few larger metro areas, but didn’t provide specific numbers on home prices, mortgage rates, or qualifying income for your town or even your province. Without those figures, it’s impossible to say what’s really changing for homeowners or buyers on the ground. Even the discussion around the mortgage stress test stayed broad—no clear guidance on how it actually impacts you month-to-month. At 911 Mortgage Brokers, our focus is always on the details that matter for your specific situation. If you’re wondering how these market shifts could affect your next purchase or refinancing plan, it comes down to your unique needs and circumstances. That’s why our team is here to sort through the noise and provide clarity—because we work for you, not the bank. Let’s make sure you get the right solution, every time.

Rent or buy: When does homeownership actually make financial sense?
Deciding between renting and buying a home is a big financial crossroads. While owning a home can help you build equity over time, rising costs are making affordability a bigger challenge for many Canadians. On the other hand, renting can help you avoid those upfront expenses, but with rents on the rise, saving for your future can feel just as tough. Ultimately, it’s about understanding what you can comfortably afford—factoring in every expense and still keeping that important financial buffer in place. At 911 Mortgage Brokers, we know that everyone’s situation is unique, and our commitment is to guide you through all your mortgage and financing options, so you can make the choice that’s right for you. We work for you, not the bank—so whether you’re considering a new purchase, refinancing, or simply weighing your options, we’re here to make your experience as stress-free as possible.
