                         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 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, and the related statement of
 changes in assets available for plan benefits for the year ended December
 30, 1999. 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 auditing standards generally
 accepted in the United States. 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 30, 1999 and December
 31, 1998, and the changes in its assets available for plan benefits for the
 year ended December 30, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles
 generally accepted in the United States.

 Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
 financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule
 of assets held for investment purposes at end of year as of December 30, 1999
 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of
 the financial statements but is 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. This supplemental schedule
 is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The Fund Information in the
 statements of assets available for plan benefits is presented for purposes of
 additional analysis rather than to present the assets available for benefits of
 each fund. The supplemental schedule and Fund Information have been subjected
 to the 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. Pulte
Home Corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pulte Corporation.

GENERAL

The Plan is a defined contribution profit sharing plan for 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 U.S. Bank, as
Trustee. Effective May 1, 1998, the Plan added the Pulte Stock Fund and the
Seligman Small Capitalization Value Fund as plan investment options.

Effective January 1, 1999, the Plan merged The Radnor Homes, Inc. 401(k) Salary
Reduction Plan sponsored by Radnor Homes, Inc. (an affiliate of the Company)
into the Plan.

Effective December 30, 1999, the Plan changed its fiscal year to end on December
30 of each year. Therefore, the current Plan year is January 1, 1999 to December
30, 1999. Each of the next Plan years will be December 31 to the following
December 30.

ELIGIBILITY

All nonunion, full-time salaried and sales employees of Pulte Corporation and 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. The benefit to which a participant is
entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's account.

1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (CONTINUED)

CONTRIBUTIONS

Contributions to participants' accounts are effected through voluntary
reductions in their compensation. Such reductions are, in turn, paid to the Plan
by Pulte Corporation and by the Company and its subsidiaries. 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).

For 1999 and 1998, Pulte Corporation and the Company and its subsidiaries
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'
          contributions.

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

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

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

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 Pulte Stock fund, and are not available for
investment direction.

1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (CONTINUED)

ALLOCATIONS

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

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

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.

          Investment Valuation-Investments in money market instruments are
          carried at cost 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.

Certain amounts in the 1998 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the 1999 presentation.

3. NONPARTICIPANT-DIRECTED INVESTMENTS

The Pulte Stock Fund includes a non-participant directed investment. Information
about the significant components of changes in net assets related to the stock
fund is as follows:

4. 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.
