Berkshire pushes into housing, while home-builder timing remains hard

The housing market has stayed depressed, leaving investors with little clear signal on when home-builder shares could rebound.

MarketWatch highlights Berkshire Hathaway’s growing exposure to the U.S. housing market through its bets on home-builder companies, arguing that the group is not cheap based on current valuations.

The outlet notes that while home-builder stocks may look inexpensive, investors still face difficulty in timing a rebound because the broader housing market remains under pressure.

In that context, MarketWatch cautions that simply pointing to low prices does not resolve the challenge of figuring out when housing conditions will improve enough to lift the sector.
