I'm just going to wait till 3.3 myself. I did a bit of house shopping today but failed to pick up any land. That said my PF only has a single person trying to sell. Plus I think I want to try and go for a Medium block and I don't have enough gill for that yet.

Ill be curious if those who bought out empty blocks will actually manage to sell them. It seems a pretty risky investment as those with huge amounts of gil to burn are likely those who do the things like buying up housing and trying to resell it.
