Berkshire Hathaway Says It's Now America's 4th-Largest Homebuilder. It Also Owns More Than 10% of Lennar.

Berkshire Hathaway has become America's 4th-largest homebuilder after acquiring Taylor Morrison for $6.8 billion and merging it with Clayton Properties Group. The combined entity delivered nearly 23,000 homes in 2025. Berkshire also holds an 11% stake in Lennar and smaller positions in other homebuilders. Despite industry challenges from housing shortages and high mortgage rates near 7.3%, Berkshire is taking a long-term investment approach, with CEO Greg Abel stating the company is committed to the housing sector for the long term.
