Warren Buffett May Think The Housing Market Has Bottomed
With existing-home sales falling for the 12th consecutive month in January, Buffet’s recent purchase of 1.25 million shares of Louisiana-Pacific Corp $Louisiana-Pacific(LPX.US$ suggests he believes the housing market has finally bottomed out.
Berkshire’s latest SEC filing shows it now owns 7 million shares, worth $417.1 million, in Louisiana-Pacific, a homebuilding solutions company.,
Berkshire’s 7% stake in Louisiana-Pacific suggests that Buffett sees value in the company, which could be poised for growth as the housing market recovers.
Buffett’s interest in the housing market is not new. The company has been investing in the sector for several years, including through its ownership of homebuilder Clayton Homes and its subsidiary, Berkshire Hathaway Energy, which has a significant investment in renewable energy.
Buffett has also been bullish on the broader economy, saying in his 2022 letter to shareholders to "never bet against America."
With Buffett's track record of successful long-term investing, his latest bet on the housing market could be a positive sign for the sector and the broader economy.
It remains to be seen how the housing market will perform in the coming months and years, but Buffett's recent purchase suggests that he sees potential for growth in the sector.
