In a live CNBC interview Thursday with Becky Quick of "Squawk Box" Warren Buffett said general U.S. economic growth has "tempered down," but that the country's housing market has seen a "noticeable" pickup.

Buffett also talked about economic situation in Europe, and noted that the United States was doing better than "virtually any other big economy" in the world.
