Berkshire Hathaway buys Taylor Morrison Home in a $6.8B cash deal Get the details on Berkshire's housing push and what it means for investors
Berkshire Hathaway has agreed to acquire homebuilder Taylor Morrison Home in a $6.8 billion cash deal, expanding its exposure to the U.S. housing market. The company will pay $72.50 per share, a 24% premium to Taylor Morrison’s closing price on May 29.
The transaction values Taylor Morrison at about $8.5 billion including debt and is expected to close in the second half of 2026. Taylor Morrison shares rose sharply after the announcement, while Berkshire Class B shares declined slightly.
The deal is one of the first major strategic moves under Berkshire CEO Greg Abel, who succeeded Warren Buffett at the start of 2026. Buffett praised Abel’s role in the transaction and said he completed the deal faster and more smoothly than he could have done himself. Berkshire already owns several housingrelated businesses, including Clayton Homes and Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices.
