🏡 Berkshire Hathaway is doubling down on housing.
Greg Abel, Warren Buffett’s successor, just led Berkshire’s $8.5 billion acquisition of Taylor Morrison, the nation’s sixth-largest homebuilder. The move signals confidence that the housing market—especially the luxury segment—will rebound, even if the timing remains uncertain.
Taylor Morrison operates in 21 markets across 12 states and will continue under its current leadership. Combined with Berkshire’s existing housing businesses, including Clayton Homes and Shaw Industries, the deal strengthens its position across the homebuilding and home furnishings sectors.
Bottom line: Berkshire is making a long-term bet on the future of homeownership in America. 🏠📈
