It wouldn't be just that simple, it never is. If someone were to script something new (actually script, not just add a simple item or mobile) I don't think this is the first thing they should be working on.
As far as I know, and correct me if I'm wrong, but custom housing works like this on every other shard too. This would be a big amount of work. For example, I'd rather see devs putting their time on a new type of event that would involve all types of players doing the thing they most enjoy.
Example event: There'd be two teams and each team starts with just some tools and very basic materials. They'd have to go and get better items (craft, hunt, PK) and then duke it out. At start, each team would vote for a leader (using gump) and when one of them dies, other side wins. Everyone could participate and feel useful. Crafters, gatherers, PvPers, PvMers would all have a role to fullfil. It would also require more tactics and teamplay than any other event. You can't just go all rambo, die and not worry about it like in auto supplied events. Your items will be looted by the other team to make them stronger.
Enough about that though... As I said, I do like your idea but I don't think it is the right time to implement the feature you mentioned. It's just a convenience feature. We need something unique that would attract players.
