More Canadians are choosing shorter-term and variable-rate mortgages. That means more frequent renewals and greater exposure to changing interest rates.

The trade-off? A resilient banking sector.

Canada's rental market is easing ... but not for everyone.

A city fee could be costing you $100,000 on a new home.

Could a city fee be the reason a new home didn't get built near you?

[CMHC @CMHC_ca]

Canada’s mortgage market is shifting.

2025 = renewals.
2026 = rising risk.

• 42% variable-rate uptake
• Insured lending expanding
• Delinquencies climbing

The renewal peak is fading. The pressure is building.

Does new housing make the rental market more affordable?

New supply ultimately benefits lower income renters — even when built at higher price points.
