## Resource

House prices took their biggest June drop in 14 years, falling 0.6% to £376,191, as warmer May weather and the World Cup pushed summer slowdown forward. Buyers are more cautious, comparing options and avoiding anything lacking value, while higher mortgage rates squeeze budgets. Affordability hotspots like the North East and Scotland hold up better, thanks to economic uncertainty, holiday timing, and a flood of listings. Sellers must price competitively from day one — buyers are deliberate, not desperate. Though mortgage rates are inching down, demand remains sensitive to price. The best deals still sell — and rents are creeping up, especially in the South East. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
