We're witnessing a notable shift in the US housing landscape: new listings have climbed 8%, reaching their highest point since August 2022. For those of us guiding clients through complex property transitions—especially in probate and trust sales—this uptick means more choices and opportunities in an otherwise challenging environment. Active listings are approaching balanced territory, yet pending sales are at a low, underscoring how today’s market dynamics demand careful navigation. With mortgage rates resting at 6.66%, affordability remains a real concern, even as median prices edge up by 2.2%. In my three decades working with administrators, executors, and trustees, I’ve learned that understanding these market nuances is crucial for protecting beneficiaries and securing the strongest results possible.
