Berkshire Hathaway acquires two builders

Lance Lambert reports that after serving as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway for 56 years, Warren Buffett was succeeded by Greg Abel. Abel has made significant moves by doubling down on site-built homebuilding.

In May 2026, Berkshire Hathaway acquired Taylor Morrison, the sixth largest homebuilder. Two months later, in July 2026, the company purchased McGuinn Homes, ranked sixty-fifth among homebuilders.

Mortgage costs remain elevated, with the average 30-year fixed rate at 6.63 percent, according to a report by Lance Lambert (link). Builders have pointed to the high cost of capital as a challenge for expansion. Invitation Homes cited this as a key reason for the slowdown in build-to-rent deals in a separate report (link).
