The latest announcement from the Bank of Canada on March 18, 2026, confirmed that the overnight lending rate will remain unchanged at 2.25% (PRIME LENDING RATE 4.45%).

This decision comes at a time when inflation has been relatively stable near the Bank’s 2% target, but global uncertainty — particularly rising oil prices — is creating potential inflation risks moving forward.

What This Means for Calgary Real Estate

For the Calgary market, a rate hold is generally positive news.

1. Stability for Buyers
Holding the rate means variable mortgage rates and borrowing costs are not increasing. This gives buyers more confidence and predictability when entering the market.

2. Continued Activity for Sellers
With rates unchanged, buyer demand is expected to remain steady. We are not seeing the sharp slowdowns typically associated with rate hikes.

3. A Balanced Market Environment
Unlike the volatility seen over the past few years, this decision supports a more balanced market — something Calgary has been trending toward.

The Big Watch-Out: Future Rate Hikes

While rates are on hold today, the Bank of Canada has made it clear it is prepared to raise rates if inflation rises again — particularly due to higher oil prices.

Markets are already anticipating the possibility of a rate increase later in 2026 if inflation pressures persist.

What Should Buyers and Sellers Do?

Buyers:
This window of stability is an opportunity. Waiting could mean facing higher borrowing costs later in the year.

Sellers:
You’re still in a strong position. Buyer demand remains intact, and pricing remains supported by stable financing conditions.

Final Thoughts

This rate hold signals a “wait and see” approach from the Bank of Canada — and for Calgary real estate, that translates into a steady and active market.

If you’re considering making a move in 2026, timing and strategy will be key — especially with the potential for rate changes later this year.

Firm Sale for My Buyer in Deer Run, Calgary

I’m excited to share that my buyers’ purchase in Deer Run, Calgary is now officially firm!

This transaction was a great example of how the right strategy and preparation can make a big difference for buyers navigating today’s real estate market.

Buying With a Condition to Sell

One of the key elements of this purchase was that the offer included a condition allowing my client to sell their current home first. This is a common situation for many homeowners who need the equity from their existing property before completing a purchase.

While this type of condition requires careful structuring and clear communication between all parties, it can absolutely work when the process is handled thoughtfully.

Confidence Through the Right Information

Throughout the process, my focus was making sure my buyers had the information they needed to make confident decisions. That includes understanding timing, risks, and opportunities so they could move forward with clarity.

Buying and selling at the same time can feel complex, but with a solid plan in place it becomes much more manageable.

The Next Chapter

Now that the deal is firm, my client can look forward to settling into their new home in Deer Run — a community known for its mature trees, great access to parks, and proximity to Fish Creek Provincial Park.

Congratulations to my buyer! I’m excited to see them begin this next chapter.
