Why Homebuilders Are Adding Accessibility Features to New Homes

On this episode of The Housing Economy, Lucas and Luna explore a growing trend among homebuilders: incorporating universal design and accessibility features into new construction. With the median age of homebuyers rising and multi-generational living on the uptick, builders like Lennar and Pulte are offering wider doorways, zero-step entries, and grab-bar reinforcements as standard or low-cost options. We break down the economics behind this shift, including how it helps builders differentiate in a softening market and why it may boost resale value. Tune in for a specific look at how accessibility is reshaping floor plans in 2026. #Accessibility #UniversalDesign #Homebuilding #HousingEconomy #HomeBuilders #Lennar #Pulte #AgingInPlace #MultiGenerationalLiving #RealEstate #MortgageRates #NewConstruction #HomeDesign #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #HousingMarket #HomePrices Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
