Just when we thought house prices were cooling off, they’ve jumped back up! After a brief dip when the stamp duty holiday ended, UK homes are now pricier again—up 0.5% in May. Turns out, buyers rushed to beat the tax deadline, then took a breather, but now the market’s buzzing with new listings and slightly better mortgage deals. If you’re house-hunting, there’s more choice, and you might even snag a deal if you negotiate hard. But keep an eye on those mortgage rates—they’re still higher than a couple of years ago! #HousePrices #PropertyMarket #HomeBuying #RealEstate
