## City market context

From the Maple Ridge market article, 22 September 2026:

Maple Ridge faces a concentrated financing headwind as the last of the pandemic-era five-year fixed-rate mortgages come up for renewal, with borrowers facing an average 15% increase in monthly payments. This payment shock coincides with rising bond yields that are pressuring new fixed mortgage rates higher, even as the central bank holds its policy rate steady. The final wave of pandemic-era five-year fixed-rate mortgage renewals is set to raise average monthly payments by 15% for roughly 12% of all outstanding Canadian mortgages over the next year, a financing shock that lands in Maple Ridge against a backdrop where the Bank of Canada held its policy rate at 2.25% on September 2, 2026, and rising five-year bond yields near 3.65% are already pushing new fixed rates higher.
