Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has agreed to acquire Taylor Morrison Home Corp for approximately $6.8 billion in cash, marking a significant expansion into the residential housing sector. The deal involves a payment of $72.50 per share, which represents a 24% premium over Taylor Morrison's last closing price of $58.50. Including debt, the acquisition values the Scottsdale, Arizona-based builder at around $8.5 billion. Taylor Morrison is one of the largest homebuilders in the U.S., operating over 350 communities across 21 markets in 12 states. The company caters to various housing segments, including entry-level and resort-style homes, and also develops rental communities under the Yardly brand. Berkshire's acquisition is expected to close in the second half of 2026, pending shareholder and regulatory approvals, after which Taylor Morrison will become a private entity. Sheryl Palmer, the CEO of Taylor Morrison, emphasized that Berkshire's long-term investment philosophy aligns well with the homebuilding industry's investment cycles, supporting future growth.
