Third-Party Inspections

New Home Builders who want to build better welcome third-party inspections as the information they receive will help them build better.

The HBN collection of builders shares information, expertise, experience and methodologies to help educate and promote better building practices, not only to benefit homeowners but other builders as well. These practices encourage builders to learn and adopt advanced, sustainable construction techniques and technologies for efficient, eco-friendly homes.

As we close out 2026 the Bank of Canada Outlook is cautiously optimistic:

The policy rate holds at 2.25% following the September announcement.
• Remaining 2026 announcements scheduled for October and December.
• Rising energy costs threaten further rate holds.
• Some analysts project a 25 bps hike later.

Mortgage and Bond Yields

Fixed borrowing costs face upward pressure from bond markets.
• Prime lending rate sits near 4.45%
• 5-year GoC bond yield near 3.90%
• Fixed mortgage rates increasing slightly
• Variable rates remain tied to prime

If you are in the market for a new home or renewing an existing mortage, now is a good time to speak with your financial advisor and see if a fixed or variable rate is best for you over the next few years!!

There are advatages to both options depending upon your personal situation and you need to consult with a financial expert to understand the full implications of either.
