On a July 2026 webcast, he said that there has been "no manufacturing efficiency in housing in 40 years" and argued that change is needed as part of the "affordability kind of solve an equation." He also stated that his company's mortgage origination costs $9,000 per loan, calling that figure "absurd" and suggesting there is a "big opportunity" to reduce costs and labor hours in that business. During PulteGroup’s Q4 2024 earnings call in January 2025, Marshall reported that the company delivered 31,219 homes in 2024, a 9% increase over the prior year, with record home sale revenues of $17.3 billion and gross margins of 28.9%. He also stated that the company has a "long-standing policy" requiring verified residency status or work permits for all trade partners and labor on its job sites. On PulteGroup’s Q2 2026 earnings call in June 2026, Marshall said the company has not seen changes in its interactions with distribution channels and described consolidations among suppliers as "generally a positive." He noted that the company is "prioritizing the pace price balance" and that "driving volume for volume's sake isn't necessarily yielding the best results." Regarding mergers and acquisitions, Marshall said the company’s first question when assessing opportunities is "will this transaction make us better, not just bigger?" He added that PulteGroup evaluated more than 20 potential acquisition opportunities in the prior year but did not complete any of them.
