Fixed: Your rate stays the same for the entire term — predictable payments, protected from rate increases.

Variable: Your rate moves with the Bank of Canada prime rate — historically lower, but payments may change if prime changes.

Rate locked for the full term — stable, predictable payments

The term is how long your current rate and conditions are locked in (e.g. 5 years). At term end, you renew at the prevailing rate. This is different from the amortization period, which is the total time to pay off the mortgage.

How long your rate is locked in before renewal

The total number of years to fully pay off your mortgage. Longer amortization = lower payments but more total interest. Maximum 25 years for insured mortgages (down payment < 20%).

Edmonton Property Tax & Transfer Tax

Property Tax Rate: Approximately 0.88% of assessed value annually (avg. $3,740/year on average home). Alberta has no provincial land transfer tax — only a Land Title Transfer Fee of approximately $500–$800 (flat fee based on property value). This makes Edmonton one of the most affordable cities in Canada for closing costs.

CMHC mortgage insurance is required for down payments under 20%. Edmonton homes are generally well under the $1.5M CMHC limit, making insured mortgages widely available.

With average home prices around $425,000, buyers can enter the market with a 5% down payment of approximately $21,250. The city offers strong value relative to income levels and has a growing tech and government employment base.

Property Tax Rates

CMHC Mortgage Insurance

If your down payment is less than 20%, CMHC mortgage insurance is required. At 5% down on a $425,000 home, the CMHC premium is 4.00% of the insured amount ($16,150), which is typically added to your mortgage. At 10% down, the premium drops to 3.10%.
