Economic uncertainty is no longer just a concern for stock traders—it’s impacting the Canadian real estate market in real time. With ongoing construction delays, declining property values, rising interest rates, and inflation, the landscape of mortgage lending is evolving. These economic headwinds are changing the way lenders, borrowers, and investors evaluate risk.
At Fibonaii Group Inc. (FIG), we manage these challenges head-on through proactive mortgage administration and responsible private lending practices. Whether you’re investing in mortgage-backed opportunities or looking for capital to complete a project, understanding today’s risks is key to making smart financial decisions.
🚧 Construction Delays: The New Normal
Material shortages, labor disruptions, and global supply chain issues continue to stall projects across Canada. These delays increase costs and extend timelines—posing new challenges for both lenders and borrowers.
Key Impacts:
• Increased risk of missed repayment deadlines
• Higher carrying costs for borrowers
• Potential re-evaluation of collateral value
At FIG, we mitigate this by structuring flexible payment terms, building in contingencies, and ensuring loans are underwritten with realistic project milestones.
📉 Declining Property Values & Market Corrections
While Canadian housing prices surged over the past decade, recent months have shown signs of correction in several markets. Lenders now face new risks when asset values fall below the original loan-to-value (LTV) thresholds.
What This Means for Mortgage Investments:
• Lower resale value if enforcement is required
• Reduced equity cushion in the event of default
• More cautious investor sentiment
To protect investors, Investment Solutions prioritizes first-position security and conservative underwriting—ensuring that every deal has enough downside protection built in.
💸 Inflation and Interest Rates Are Reshaping Affordability
Higher inflation and climbing interest rates are impacting everything—from grocery bills to monthly mortgage payments. For borrowers, it means more expensive capital. For private lenders, it raises the bar for risk management.
Risk Response at Fibonaii Group Inc.:
• Adjusting interest rates based on market benchmarks
• Assessing borrower affordability more conservatively
• Shortening loan terms to reduce long-term exposure
🔍 Enhanced Due Diligence Is Now Essential

• Borrower history and credit risk
