Real Estate Blog & Market Insights

Alright, imagine this: you’re chillin’ with your double-double (or your all-time favourite brew) in hand, mulling over whether the property prices in Canmore and Bragg Creek will keep on their upward slide in 2025. This isn’t one of those stiff, corporate market reports — it’s a down-to-earth chat from us at Sky Fort, mixing solid market insights with a good dose of everyday banter.

Remember those super-low rates of 2020? Yeah, those days when you could snag a mortgage at something like 1.5% — it felt like winning the lottery. Fast forward to 2025, and things are a whole different ball game. The Bank of Canada’s policy rate sits at 3.75% right now, and rumor has it it might drop even further over the year. In 2024 there were four rate cuts already, and the general vibe on the internet is that the trend could continue.

But here’s the kicker: while the numbers have shifted, the way you approach your mortgage renewal doesn’t have to be a nerve-wracking mystery. It’s more like an opportunity to hit the reset button, take a deep breath, and maybe even save a pretty penny in the process. After all, with more than 1.2 million Canadians expected to renew their mortgages in 2025, you’re riding this wave with a whole lot of folks who are all out to lock in the best deal possible.
