For most standard residential mortgages, the lender pays our fee. If your situation requires a lender that charges a brokerage fee, we’ll explain that clearly before you decide anything.
Yes. We can compare the rate, prepayment options, penalties, restrictions and qualification requirements against mortgage options from more than 50 banks and lenders.
Yes. Most of the process can be completed securely online or by phone, with clear updates from application through approval and closing.
Yes. We help borrowers throughout Fort McMurray and the surrounding communities, with the whole process available online or by phone.
Before you begin making offers. A proper mortgage pre-approval helps clarify your price range, estimated payment, cash needed to close and any lender conditions that should be addressed early.
We keep watching. Your monthly homeowner report tracks your equity and your rate against the market and flags savings when they appear, Renewal Defense handles the letter, and an annual review keeps the mortgage fitting your life.
$399,590 in August 2026, up 6% from a year earlier (AREA / Pillar 9). By property type: detached $475,992, semi-detached $385,600, row $263,290, apartment $149,734.
Using the $399,590 Fort McMurray average at today’s 4.24% 5-year fixed over 25 years: about $1,723 a month with 20% down ($79,918), or $2,128 a month with the 5% minimum down ($19,980) once the $15,184 CMHC premium is added to the mortgage. Principal and interest only.
On the $399,590 Fort McMurray average: roughly $79,000 of household income with 20% down, or $94,000 with the minimum down — using the 6.24% stress-test rate, a 39% gross debt service ratio, property tax at 1% of the price and $150 a month for heat, with no other debts. Buying an average apartment instead? Roughly $33,000–$38,000. Car payments, student loans and credit cards all lower these numbers, which is why a real pre-approval beats a rule of thumb.
5% of the first $500,000 plus 10% of anything above that, so $19,980 on a $399,590 home (the Fort McMurray average). Put down 20% ($79,918) and you skip mortgage default insurance entirely. Homes priced at $1.5 million or more require 20% by law.
About $508,000 with 20% down, or $425,000 with the minimum down, at today’s 4.24% 5-year fixed and the 6.24% stress test (no other debts, 1% property tax, $150 heat). That’s above the $399,590 Fort McMurray average with 20% down.
A seller’s market. 83% of new listings sold in August 2026 and there were 2.7 months of supply (40–60% and 3–6 months is the balanced range). Sales were up 8% year-over-year while active inventory was down 25%.
