Thinking about buying your first place? 2026 could be your year! With mortgage rates dropping and fewer bidding wars, first-time buyers are expected to lead the charge. The market’s looking more like a friendly open house than a cutthroat auction, especially up north where prices are rising faster than in London. If you’re ready to move, keep an eye out for deals and don’t rush—there might be more wiggle room on price than last year. #RealEstate #housingmarket #firsttimebuyer
