  Tesco and Sainsbury's have grown their market share, while Asda has seen a decline. Meanwhile, the cost of car insurance can vary by as much as 123% depending on the time of day you buy it. Read these and the rest of today's consumer and personal finance news below.

The article from Sky News discusses various economic updates in the UK, focusing on the housing market, mortgage rates, and the impact of Airbnb. It highlights that UK house prices have seen a slight increase, with the average price now at £281,684, up by 0.7% annually, according to Halifax. This rise is attributed to a shortage of properties rather than strong buyer demand. Mortgage rates are also a significant topic, with the Bank of England's base rate decisions influencing the market; despite expectations, the base rate was held at 5.25%, affecting mortgage affordability. Additionally, the article touches on the growing trend of using Airbnb for short-term lets, which has led to concerns about its impact on local housing availability and community cohesion. There's also mention of a potential government crackdown on holiday lets to address these issues. Other economic news includes updates on inflation, consumer spending, and business reactions to the economic climate.
