http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Uncanny_Estate 20 bucks in station cash and on occasion 1/2 or 1/4 normal price IE halloween..

sure its from Eq2 but some of my homes there dwarf ffxiv. sure some of the base is less tweak-able ...

but if i get busy at work , my FFXIV house/s wont get the chain saw.. if I dont log in is a pressing concern...

click crystal -FC HALL , enter (persona name) instance of home.
Crystal Tower , a Restored Hawke Mannor , some guild halls for FC's of overwhelming size. ANTI-Tower Prestige home , Gubal_Library Home

I'm sure no rent no demolish instance houses like an over and a few dollars would be worth it for folks that arent gil-farming slaves..

yes SE , you could sell slightly customization Instance houses no rent no Demolish...
and make a few bucks in the process.

having DOMA Castle Home slightly tweak-able house.. , yup hears 25 bucks , thanks...

You'd have to rent them and it would incentivize them to do nothing to increase the quality or number of current housing.

I skimmed through your links and it looks really complicated.
Am I right in thinking this is another 'put houses in the mog-shop' thread? If so, I'll just say this: FFXIV is a subscription game that advertises housing as a feature available to all players (yes, it needs an overhaul). We already have storage for rent in the Mog-shop, housing for either purchase or rent would be going too far. No way should we have to pay more money for it.

I did notice with 'standard housing' that items of furniture are not lost even if the house-owner fails to pay for upkeep and loses their house. That is the only thing I'd like Square to copy - all furniture items should be stored indefinitely when a house is reclaimed. It's shameful they have put a time-limit on it.
