Berkshire Hathaway agreed to pay $6.8 billion to acquire Taylor Morrison Home, the first major acquisition under new CEO Greg Abel, who took over from Warren Buffett. Abel called it a strategic move, saying he hopes to "unify our site-built homebuilding operations into a combined platform," and Warren Buffett approved his handling of the deal. The purchase comes as the pending home sales index sits near its second-lowest reading ever, down 36% from its 2021 high, but Abel is not trying to time a housing upturn. Berkshire Hathaway held roughly $365 billion in cash at the end of the second quarter of 2026, giving it the patience to let the homebuilding integration play out over years. Taylor Morrison Home is just one piece of a broader effort to strengthen Berkshire's operating businesses.
