I planned for the individual purchase restriction not to be lifted until 4.25, though I hope it might only be 2 weeks. At least one week was a given since not everyone logs in every day and some FCs are formed around weekend players. At the end of the first week, they could better evaluate how well the new wards met FC demand then decide how soon to open purchases to individuals.
It's frustrating as someone on a lower pop world because the majority of the new plots added are still available, including many of the mediums. I also understand that it's very unlikely they're going to have different rules for the low pop worlds compared to the high pop worlds and that the situation on the high pop worlds is going to determine when they open new purchases to individuals.
So I content myself with my apartment for now, and I have access to gardening with my FC and a friend's estate. A better situation than many have but all we can do is make the best out of what's available.
