July 2022 Newsletter


We hope you're having a great summer and enjoying the great outdoors with family and friends! 

In this month's newsletter, we've included an important update about the current interest rates for mortgages, as well as 5 outdoor upgrades that will add value to your home. 

As always, you can find the market stats for the previous month below. 

Thanks for reading!




The typical summer market has arrived in central Alberta with slightly slower sales and an active listing count moving back to more normal levels. Activity has historically slowed in June as families focus on the end of the school year, graduation and summer holidays. This year the slowdown has been exacerbated by rising interest rates and consumer concerns about rising prices for everything from gasoline to utilities to groceries.

What You Need to Know About Mortgage Interest RatesIn an effort to curb the rising rate of inflation, The Bank of Canada increased it's overnight target rate by a full 1% on July 13, making the new mortgage prime rate 4.7%
What does this mean for your mortgage? If you are on a variable interest rate mortgage, you have likely noticed a large difference in your monthly payments from the beginning of the year until now. 
So is now the time to lock in your mortgage rate? It is important to keep in mind the penalties involved with getting out of a fixed rate mortgage. If fixed rates settle in the next 18-24 months and even drop as the bond market is dropping (which is suspected) it could become very expensive to get out of a fixed rate mortgage.
