Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) (BRK.B) announced on May 31 that it will acquire Taylor Morrison Home Corporation (TMHC) in an all‑cash deal valued at about $6.8 billion. This is Greg Abel’s first major acquisition since he took over from Warren Buffett as CEO earlier in 2026.
The transaction lands at an important moment for the U.S. housing market. White House economists estimate a shortage of roughly 10 million homes in the U.S. They say regulatory changes could unlock more construction, which could help steady prices and make homeownership more attainable.
