Why Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is buying Taylor Morrison Home Corporation

Greg Abel said Berkshire was buying a best-in-class national homebuilder and planned, over time, to unify its site-built homebuilding operations into one platform alongside Clayton Homes. Taylor Morrison chief executive Sheryl Palmer said Berkshire's long-term approach suited homebuilding's multi-year investment cycle.
