Thinking about buying a home? Here’s the scoop: new mortgage rules mean you can now borrow more without paying a higher rate, and that’s got more people out house-hunting this summer. Sales are up, but don’t worry about prices skyrocketing—growth is actually slowing. The catch? Stamp duty costs are up, so factor that into your budget. If you’re a first-time buyer, the perks aren’t as sweet as last year, but you can still snag a deal if you move fast! #RealEstate #HomeBuyingTips #MortgageHacks
