On July 24, Berkshire Hathaway finalized its cash purchase of Taylor Morrison, delivering $72.50 per share to shareholders. The transaction assigned an equity valuation of $6.8 billion to the homebuilder, rising to $8.5 billion when accounting for assumed liabilities.
Shareholders received compensation 24% above TMHC’s May 29 market close. The homebuilder’s shares, which formerly traded as “TMHC” on the NYSE, have now been delisted following deal completion.
The transaction represents Greg Abel’s inaugural significant acquisition since assuming Berkshire’s top position from Warren Buffett in early 2026. Given Berkshire’s substantial cash reserves approaching $400 billion, market observers have characterized the deal as moderately sized relative to the company’s financial capacity.
Berkshire Hathaway Inc., BRK-B
Sheryl Palmer retains her position as chief executive of Taylor Morrison. Palmer will direct the consolidation of Taylor Morrison’s portfolio—encompassing Esplanade, Yardly, and Taylor Morrison Home Funding—with Berkshire’s current homebuilding infrastructure.
The acquired homebuilder joins Berkshire Hathaway’s site-built construction division through integration with Clayton Properties Group. Clayton Properties represents a portfolio of 15 localized and regional homebuilding entities.
The unified organization completed approximately 23,000 site-built residential units throughout 2025. Operations now span 21 states, encompass 52 metropolitan markets, and manage over 700 residential communities.
This operational magnitude positions the merged entity as America’s fourth-largest homebuilding company. The organization addresses diverse market segments, from rental properties and first-time purchasers to upgrading homeowners and resort-style retirement communities.
Prior to this transaction, Berkshire maintained substantial housing sector investments. The conglomerate controls Clayton Homes, operates Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices—among America’s premier residential brokerage networks—and owns multiple construction materials manufacturers.
The investment portfolio also includes equity positions in additional homebuilders such as NVR.
