The housing market may be on the brink of a major shift, according to Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. With mortgage rates expected to remain elevated for the foreseeable future, homebuyers and builders alike are adapting to a new reality.
Berkshire Hathaway’s real estate division sees affordability, flexible design, and energy efficiency becoming top priorities as buyers navigate tighter budgets. Builders are responding with smaller homes and smarter layouts to meet evolving demands.
What does this mean for you?
-
Buyers should stay focused on value—think energy-efficient features, flexible spaces, and homes under $400K.
-
Sellers should consider upgrades that improve energy use and modernize layouts.
-
Investors might find opportunities in value-driven new construction and resale homes.
With Warren Buffett’s net worth now sitting at approximately $160–165 billion, when his firm takes a position on housing trends, the market listens.
