## Resource

Berkshire Hathaway is making a major bet on U.S. housing. Warren Buffett's company has agreed to acquire homebuilder Taylor Morrison in a deal valued at approximately $8.5 billion, including debt. The move comes at a time when the housing market is still facing elevated mortgage rates, affordability challenges, and slower home sales. So what does Berkshire see that others don't? In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down the deal, why analysts believe it could signal a bottom for housing valuations, and what it may mean for homebuilders, real estate investors, and the broader housing market. She also shares insights from industry experts who believe long-term investors are beginning to position themselves for the next phase of the housing cycle.
