With mortgage rates for 30-year fixed loans now surpassing 7%—the highest we’ve seen since January 2025—many families and individuals are navigating a more challenging market. Forecasts suggest these rates are likely to remain elevated through 2026, which can feel daunting if you’re managing a sale as an executor, trustee, or administrator. In my 35 years guiding clients through probate and trust sales across Los Angeles County, I’ve seen how important it is to prepare financially and explore flexible loan options, especially when affordability concerns are top of mind. Whether you’re selling a loved one’s home or managing a relocation to assisted living, understanding these trends can help you make informed, confident decisions in any market climate.
