  • Home prices are up. For Black families, is selling Grandma's house the right choice? by Danaya C. Wright

    Home prices are up. For Black families, is selling Grandma's house the right choice?

    Danaya C. Wright

    There's a racial gap in homeowning, too. In 2019, the rate of white homeownership was nearly 74%, while the Black homeownership rate was 30 points lower.

Realtors say properties typically sell for more when they're sold on the open market. And for homeowners who want to ensure that there's a plan for the property, a will is crucial, and a trust is even better. Danaya Wright, a law professor at the University of Florida, studied what happened to properties when the owners did or did not have wills.
