Just when you thought buying a home couldn’t get pricier, the average asking price shot up nearly £10,000 in January—the biggest leap in almost a decade! But don’t freak out: there are more homes for sale than usual, so buyers have options and sellers can’t get too greedy. If you’re house-hunting, now’s the time to shop around and maybe even negotiate, especially with mortgage rates holding steady. Pro tip: don’t rush—there’s plenty of choice out there! #RealEstate #HousePrices #PropertyMarket
