The Hello take
Nobody's favourite. Occasionally the smartest.
The overlooked middle child. Most people never look at four years—which is exactly why lenders sometimes price it to move. When a 4-year comes in under the 3 and the 5, it's a genuine bargain: nearly the certainty of a 5-year, one year less commitment.
Who it's for
Today's 4-year is priced below the 3 and 5 (it happens—we'll tell you). You want a long lock but 2031 feels like a long way off.

Hello Mortgage InsightsUpdated Sep 21
Bond yields have eased 0.09% over the last five days, and fixed mortgage rates should follow in the coming days—best 5-year fixed sits at 4.24% today. Variable rates are holding at 3.55%, steady until the Bank of Canada's next call on Oct. 28, where a hold is most likely unless October inflation numbers or the Q3 Business Outlook Survey show gasoline costs spilling into core prices.

4-year fixed mortgages in Calgary
Your questions, answered with today's numbers.
Today's lowest 4-year fixed rate for Calgary buyers and renewals is 4.29%, straight from the lender rate desks we work with and refreshed every business day. Rates are set province-wide, so Calgary gets the same pricing as the rest of Alberta—what changes is which lenders fit your property and your situation. Two minutes with us tells you which rate is yours, no credit check.
The average home in Calgary sold for about $638,440 in August 2026 (AREA / Pillar 9). At today's 4.29% 4-year fixed over 25 years that's roughly $3,379 a month with the minimum down payment ($38,844), or $2,768 with 20% down. You'd need about $147,000 of household income to pass the stress test on the minimum-down version.
A fixed term is about certainty: your payment doesn't change for the length of the term no matter what the Bank of Canada does. Shorter fixed terms cost a little more today but let you renegotiate sooner; a 5-year is usually the sharpest fixed price on the shelf. Where you land depends on how long you'll be in the home and how much a payment jump would hurt—we'll run the math against every other term for you.
No—lenders price 4-year fixed mortgages province-wide, so a buyer in Calgary sees the same rate sheet as one in Calgary or Lethbridge. What does change locally is the property: some lenders won't touch certain condo buildings, acreages or older homes, and insured pricing (under 20% down) is sharper than conventional. Knowing which lenders like Calgary properties is where a broker earns their keep.
The same rules as everywhere in Canada: 5% of the first $500,000 of the purchase price and 10% of anything above that, up to $1.5 million (20% beyond that). Under 20% down means CMHC-style default insurance—the premium is added to the mortgage, not paid up front—and, counter-intuitively, it usually gets you the lowest 4-year fixed rate on the shelf. Alberta has no land transfer tax, so closing costs run lighter than in Ontario or B.C.
Yes. A pre-approval holds today's 4-year fixed rate for up to 120 days at no cost. If rates drop before you close, you get the lower one; if they rise, you keep the hold. It's the single most useful thing a Calgary buyer can do before booking showings, and it takes about ten minutes to set up.
Fixed-rate penalties are the greater of three months' interest or the interest rate differential (IRD), and the IRD math varies wildly by lender—big banks calculate it off posted rates, which can turn a small penalty into a five-figure one. If there's any chance you'll sell or refinance before the term ends, tell us; we'll steer you to lenders with fairer penalty math, or to a shorter term or a portable mortgage.
Usually, yes. Most lenders let you renew early in the last 120–180 days without penalty, and many Calgary homeowners refinance mid-term when the savings outrun the penalty. We run that math for free: today's 4-year fixed rate against what you're paying, minus any penalty, over the time you actually plan to stay. If the number doesn't work, we'll say so.
