Berkshire Hathaway to buy Taylor Morrison in $8.5 billion all-cash deal

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. has agreed to acquire Taylor Morrison Home Corporation in an all-cash deal valuing the national homebuilder at approximately $8.5 billion, the companies announced Friday.

Under the definitive agreement, Berkshire will pay $72.50 per share in cash, a 24% premium to Taylor Morrison’s closing price of $58.50 on May 29, 2026. The transaction implies an equity value of about $6.8 billion and an enterprise value of roughly $8.5 billion for Taylor Morrison.

The Scottsdale, Arizona-based builder operates more than 350 communities across 21 markets in 12 states, serving entry-level, move-up and resort lifestyle buyers under the Taylor Morrison and Esplanade brands and developing rental communities under the Yardly brand. It also offers mortgage, title, escrow and homeowners insurance services.

Following the closing, Taylor Morrison will become a private company within Berkshire’s portfolio and its shares will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. The existing management team, including Chairman and CEO Sheryl Palmer, will remain in place, according to the announcement.

Greg Abel, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, said the acquisition aligns with Berkshire’s long-term commitment to housing, citing existing holdings such as Clayton Homes and other building products businesses. Over time, Berkshire expects to unify its site-built homebuilding operations into a combined platform.

The deal is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to approval by Taylor Morrison shareholders and customary regulatory approvals. For housing professionals, the transaction underscores continued consolidation in the homebuilding sector and signals Berkshire’s increased bet on long-term demand for U.S. housing and ancillary services like mortgage and insurance.
