I’m pretty sure it’s a cmhc requirement that mortgage plus tax cant be over x%. I’m going off memory though from 10 years ago when I last moved.

Edit: CMHC uses 35% now but it needs to include heating cost and 50% of Condo fees as well which I didn’t include in my post but the conclusion doesn’t really change Median family can afford median SFH in Calgary.
