                        Report of Independent Auditors

Board of Directors
Pulte Home Corporation Investment
    Savings Plus

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for plan
benefits of Pulte Home Corporation Investment Savings Plus (the "Plan") as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of changes in assets
available for plan benefits for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the assets available for plan benefits of Pulte Home
Corporation Investment Savings Plus at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
changes in its assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of
assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1998 and reportable
transactions for the year then ended are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of
the Plan's management. The Fund Information in the statement of net assets
available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available
for benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to
present the net assets available for benefits and the changes in net assets
available for benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and Fund
Information have been subjected to auditing procedures applied in our audits
of the financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

1. Description of Plan

The following brief description of Pulte Home Corporation ("Company")
Investment Savings Plus ("Plan") is provided for general information purposes
only. Participants should refer to Plan documents for more complete
information.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution profit sharing plan established as of
April 1, 1984 and includes, as participants, eligible employees of the
Company and affiliated subsidiaries which have adopted the Plan. The Plan is
administered by an Administrative Committee ("Committee") appointed by the
Board of Directors of the Company and is subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

Plan assets are held and investment transactions are executed by First Trust
National Association, as Trustee. Effective January 1, 1997, the Plan was
amended to allow rollovers prior to the eligibility date. Effective May 1,
1998, the Plan added the Pulte stock and the Seligman Small Capitalization
Value fund as plan investment options.

Eligibility

All nonunion, full-time salaried and sales employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries that have adopted the Plan are eligible to participate on the
first day of the month coincident with or next following the completion of
six months of employment.

Contributions

Contributions to employees' accounts are effected through voluntary
reductions in their compensation. Such reductions are, in turn, paid to the
Plan by the Company. At the discretion of their Boards of Directors, the
Company and its subsidiaries may make additional contributions to the
accounts of Plan participants. Annual contributions for each participant are
subject to participation and discrimination standards of Internal Revenue
Code Section 401(k)(3).

1. Description of Plan (continued)

For 1998 and 1997, the Company matched an amount on behalf of each
participant for whom basic contributions were made, based on the
participant's length of service with the Company in accordance with the
following schedule:

      A.) Less than one year of service: 100% of the first $300 of
          participant's contributions.

      B.) 1-2 years of service: 100% of the first $600 of participant's
          contributions.

      C.) 2-3 years of service: 100% of the first $900 of participant's
          contributions.

      D.) 3-4 years of service: 100% of the first $1,200 of participant's
          contributions.

      E.) 4 or more years of service: 100% of the first $1,500 of
          participant's contributions.

Contributions may be invested in one or more of the investment options
provided by the plan. The Plan presently provides eight investment options:
Yield Enhanced Short-Term Investment Fund, Vanguard Wellington Fund, State
Street Stable Value Fund, Vanguard Institutional Index Fund, Putnam Voyager
Fund, Templeton Foreign Fund, Seligman Small Capitalization Value Fund, and
Company Common Stock.

Participants may change their investment directives and contribution amounts
on a daily basis via an automated telephone service. Discretionary
contributions which are to be allocated to each participants' "Special
Contributions Account" are invested solely in the Company's common stock, not
available for investment direction.

Allocations

Contributions to the Plan are allocated to participants' individual accounts
on the date of receipt by the Trustee.

Discretionary contributions made by the Company and its subsidiaries, if any,
are allocated as of the last day of the Plan year among accounts of eligible
participants.

1. Description of Plan (continued)

Distribution

Participants or their beneficiaries may receive distributions of their
account balances upon the earlier of reaching age 59-1/2, disability, death
or termination of service, as defined in the Plan. Further, the Committee may
permit a participant who experiences a qualified financial hardship to
receive a distribution of all or a portion of the participant's account
balance. Such distributions are generally made in a lump sum.

Vesting

A participant's account balance is fully vested and nonforfeitable.

Termination

Although the Company intends to continue the Plan indefinitely, it has
reserved the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. If the Plan
were to be terminated, the amount in each participant's account would remain
fully vested as of the date of termination of the Plan. Plan funds would
continue to be invested and would continue to be held in the custody of the
Plan's Trustee.

The Plan's Trustee would pay the balance of each participant's Plan account
in a lump sum at the earlier of age 59-1/2, disability, death or when
employment with the Company is terminated.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses of the Plan are presently paid by the Company.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following are significant accounting policies followed by the Plan:

      Accounting Basis-The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on
      the accrual basis.

                  Notes to Financial Statements (continued)




2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

      Investment Valuation-Investments in money market instruments are at
      cost which approximates fair value. Fully benefit-responsive annuity
      contracts and guaranteed investment contracts are carried at contract
      value which approximates fair value. Investments in mutual funds are
      carried at fair value based on quoted market prices.

      Management Estimates-The preparation of financial statements in
      conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
      management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
      amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
      statements and additions and deductions during the reporting period.
      Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      Reclassification-Certain amounts in the 1997 financial statements were
      reclassified to conform to the current year classification.

3. Income Tax Status

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue
Service dated March 11, 1992 stating that the Plan is qualified under Section
401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") and, therefore, the
related trust is exempt from taxation. The Plan has been restated in its
entirety subsequent to the receipt of the determination letter. Once
qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to
maintain its qualification. The Plan Administrator believes the Plan is being
operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and,
therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is
exempt.

4. State Street Stable Value Fund

The State Street Stable Value Fund includes $3,791,101 and $7,522,676 at
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, of investments in insurance company
annuity contracts and guaranteed investment contracts. Such contracts have
interest rates as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 ranging from 5.62% to 7.99%.
Interest rates for the contracts are fixed through maturity. Maturity dates
for the contracts are in January 1999 and 2000.

5. Year 2000 Issue (unaudited)

The Plan Sponsor has determined that it will be necessary to take certain
steps in order to ensure that the Plan's information systems are prepared to
handle year 2000 dates. The Plan Sponsor is taking a two phase approach. The
first phase addresses internal systems that must be modified or replaced to
function properly. Both internal and external resources are being utilized to
replace or modify existing software applications, and test the software and
equipment for the year 2000 modifications. The Plan Sponsor anticipates
substantially completing this phase of the project by October 1999. Costs
associated with modifying software and equipment are not estimated to be
significant and will be paid by the Plan Sponsor.

For the second phase of the project, Plan management established formal
communications with its third party service providers to determine that they
have developed plans to address their own year 2000 problems as they relate
to the Plan's operations. All third party service providers have indicated
that they will be year 2000 compliant by early 1999. If modification of data
processing systems of either the Plan, the Plan Sponsor, or its service
providers are not completed timely, the year 2000 problem could have a
material impact on the operations of the Plan. Plan management will not
develop a contingency plan, unless information from the ongoing due diligence
process on third party vendors indicates system non-compliance by the year
2000.
