This in no way detracts from the argument they set the price point too high. The rapid selling out of houses is most likely related to how incredibly scarce they are and will be even in 2.4. Free Companies now need to race to get a house or not have anything for their entire guild, meanwhile there are hundreds of thousands of players competing over a handful of plots.

By setting the initial price at 4 million gil, they have excluded anyone without that much expendable income from buying a house before they inevitably sell out.

The fact that some people have more than 4 million gil does not justify the exclusion of a significant chunk of the population that can't just throw that much money away on a house. The fact the prices are going to come down is irrelevant if there is such scarcity in housing supply that they're selling out instantly.
