Why Builders Are Adding Security Rooms in 2026

In this episode of The Housing Economy, Lucas and Luna explore why homebuilders are increasingly offering safe rooms or security suites in new construction. With the spike in home invasions and natural disasters, builders like D.R. Horton and Lennar are making fortified rooms a standard option in new developments. We break down the costs, the features, and whether this trend is here to stay. Plus, we look at the latest housing data: housing starts fell to 1.177 million in May, and the median home price dropped to $403,200. Tune in for a focused look at one of the most talked-about new home features of 2026. #HousingEconomy #Economics #Homebuilding #SafeRoom #SecurityRoom #D.R.Horton #Lennar #HomeFeatures #RealEstate #NewConstruction #HomeSecurity #NaturalDisaster #FortifiedHome #BuildingTrends #HousePrices #HousingStarts #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
