A little quick arbitrage on the MB and you're set for being eligible and able to purchase a house.
Given 3 months, a new player can easily be ready to purchase a house and it's looking like there will be at least that much time between Xbox release and DT release.
New players and players making new NA characters may not have much choice as we get closer to Dawntrail. SE is already increasing the number of Congested worlds on Aether and will probably follow suit with Primal and Crystal before DT early access.
There are some of us that are fine pioneering Dynamis so it won't be a total wasteland if new characters get funneled there and SE restricts/shuts down data center travel to control congestion.
