So, if you're moving to another DC because your friend group is migrating, you're trapped on the old one just to get your money back from the system. It used to be that if you were moving, you could easily put up a PF or poke a friend, recoup your money from selling the house at placard price (which is still the case with relos on most servers) and then quit the game, move to a new server, whatever.
This isn't to say that there aren't people who snipe housing for resale purposes, but the people who do so are selling FCs with a house for profit, not relos.
