Here is what Black Bear Value Fund has to say about Green Brick Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ:GRBK) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:
“Housing: Green Brick Partners (NASDAQ:GRBK)
I would refer you to our Q2 letter as we discuss these names in detail and our feelings have not changed. While mortgage rates are higher, they are not unusual versus history. The low rates of the last 5-10 years are the outlier. We have a structural shortage of housing in the USA. With existing homeowners locked into low-rate mortgages, the aspiring homeowner may increasingly need to find a home from a homebuilder. The next 6-12 months could be rocky as people adjust to the increase in pricing and rates. Eventually the housing market should adjust to the new normal (or rates could go down). We do have a large credit short which benefits if rates continue to go up.”
