No refund is 100% gil sink, why need to reduce it to 20% if gil sink is a concern?
The refund encourages people to sell. For example, if you find a house you like better, or you want to move servers. Currently, people may feel stuck in their server because they don't want to lose the investment on their house. Or they may not move to another house because they already paid a lot for their house. People will also be more willing to pay for higher prices instead of waiting for the price to drop because of the refund. This can result in overall larger gil sink than the 100%.

Maybe because they want to avoid actions taken against their account.
