The offer of $72.50 per share is a 24% premium to Taylor Morrison's previous close, and the deal is expected to close in the second half of 2026.\n\nTaylor Morrison is a national homebuilder with more than 350 communities across 21 markets in 12 states, selling to entry-level, move-up and resort-lifestyle buyers under its Taylor Morrison and Esplanade brands. CEO Sheryl Palmer and her management team will stay on. Abel said Berkshire expects to \"unify our site-built homebuilding operations into a combined platform\" by merging the company with its existing Clayton Homes division.\n\nThe purchase is modest by Berkshire's standards, given the conglomerate's cash pile of nearly $400 billion, but it is a notable vote of confidence in the U.S. housing market and an early signal of how Abel will deploy capital in the post-Buffett era."}}
