$447,541 in August 2026, up 3% from a year earlier (AREA / Pillar 9). By property type: detached $486,686, semi-detached $369,700, row $343,700, apartment $327,431.

Using the $447,541 Lethbridge average at today’s 4.24% 5-year fixed over 25 years: about $1,930 a month with 20% down ($89,508), or $2,384 a month with the 5% minimum down ($22,377) once the $17,007 CMHC premium is added to the mortgage. Principal and interest only.

On the $447,541 Lethbridge average: roughly $88,000 of household income with 20% down, or $105,000 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 $66,000–$78,000. 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 $22,377 on a $447,541 home (the Lethbridge average). Put down 20% ($89,508) 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 $447,541 Lethbridge average with 20% down.
