Episode 49 of Mortgage Conversations with Fexingo dives into the rise of townhome-only communities in 2026. With the median home price at $403,200 and 30-year mortgage rates hovering around 6.52%, builders are pivoting to attached housing to keep entry-level prices attainable. Lucas and Luna break down how Lennar and Pulte are leading this shift, with townhome starts up 15% year-over-year. Data from the latest housing-starts report — 1.465 million annualized, down 2.8% from last month — shows single-family starts falling while attached housing rises. The Case-Shiller index is down slightly to 331.3. The hosts explain why zoning reforms and demographic shifts — more single professionals and downsizing boomers — are fueling demand for lock-and-leave living. They cite specific examples: a 1,200-square-foot townhome outside Austin priced at $310,000 versus a comparable single-family home at $390,000. Listeners learn how builders achieve higher density, lower land costs, and faster construction timelines. The episode also touches on investor appetite for townhome REITs. A focused, concrete look at one of the biggest structural shifts in U.S. homebuilding today. #TownhomeCommunities #AttachedHousing #Homebuilding #Lennar #Pulte #HousingStarts #MedianHomePrice #MortgageRates #AffordableHousing #ZoningReform #Demographics #LockAndLeave #BuilderTrends #RealEstate #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MortgageConversations Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
