Berkshire Hathaway has agreed to acquire Taylor Morrison Home Corporation in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $8.5 billion. Under the definitive agreement, Berkshire will pay $72.50 per share for Taylor Morrison, representing a 24% premium to the homebuilder’s May 29 closing price of $58.50.
The deal gives Berkshire one of the nation’s largest community developers and homebuilders. Taylor Morrison operates more than 350 communities across 21 markets in 12 states and serves entry-level, move-up, and resort lifestyle homebuyers through its Taylor Morrison and Esplanade brands. It also develops rental communities under the Yardly brand and offers mortgage, title, escrow, and homeowners’ insurance services.
Goldman Sachs and Moelis & Company are serving as financial advisors to Taylor Morrison. Simpson Thacher & Bartlett is serving as Taylor Morrison’s legal advisor, while Mayer Brown is serving as financial services regulatory counsel.
The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to Taylor Morrison stockholder approval, required regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions. Once the deal closes, Taylor Morrison will become a private company and its common stock will no longer trade on the New York Stock Exchange.
Taylor Morrison will continue to be led by its existing management team, including Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Sheryl Palmer. Berkshire Hathaway CEO Greg Abel said the company expects over time to unify its site-built homebuilding operations into a combined platform.
