Housing Endgame - Unnecessary Time Sink

I don't believe that SE has even attempted to put their best effort into the housing system. I'm not even talking about having enough housing for 4.2 billion subs and all their alts. The way housing is released and put back on the market is abysmal. One suggestion would be for people who want to be rid of their house to place it up on a Housing Market board. The house in question would be listed for max price, depreciate in the regular fashion, and anyone willing to purchase it would pay the listed price +5% transaction fee, the owner would receive 50% of the housing cost back and the other 50% would be lost in the aether. As it is now, instead of enjoying story I have to stand around anywhere from 1hr - 24hr waiting for a plot to open with a bunch of other people. We all pay to play the story and raids, not stand around and hope for a house. Mine is a single suggestion in a myriad possibilities that are infinitely better than this time sink that is wasting our real money instead of sinking our gil.
