I'm in CT and was told one of the big advantages of a trust is speed. It can take 10-12 months to clear probate while the trust goes the the beneficiary(ies) more or less immediately.
My interest in having a property/home in a trust is privacy. Where I live, tax records are easily searchable online, so you can easily find out where someone lives assuming they don't have a very common name, or are renting. And if someone is curious about a specific property, most people are going to stop at 123 Elm St Trust.
