Homebuilders Are Adding Bike Storage Rooms in 2026

Episode 85 of The Housing Economy explores a new trend in new-home construction: dedicated bike storage rooms. Lucas and Luna discuss why builders are adding these spaces, from DR Horton to Toll Brothers, and how it ties to shifting buyer priorities. With housing starts down to 1.177 million in May 2026 and the median home price at $403,200, builders are differentiating with amenities that appeal to active-lifestyle buyers. The hosts cite specific builder data and examine the cost-benefit of swapping a third-car garage bay for a bike room. A concrete look at how home design is adapting to post-pandemic commuting and recreation habits. #BikeStorage #Homebuilders #NewHomeFeatures #ActiveLifestyle #DRHorton #TollBrothers #Lennar #PulteHomes #HousingMarket #RealEstate #HomeDesign #Economics #HousingEconomy #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #2026Trends #SuburbanDesign #BikeCommuting Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
