    Pretty sure anything that's above the plot's price is reportable, to be honest. People shouldn't be making a profit from a house. Heck, they shouldn't even be getting their money back at all, considering the way the system is. They're lucky they're being given the permission to ask for what they've paid.

    Anyway, any more than the plot's worth will be interpreted by some people as "I can sell it however high I want."

    Well I would say a bit above to be honest to cover the cost of the house and furniture that's destroyed.

    No, that is an entitled line of thinking. Houses were never meant to be sold in the first place and the game doesn't even permit the selling of used equipment considering the Binding system. Housing is an investment and if you honestly didn't care enough about it to risk not only losing the money spent on purchase, but also that placed into it over the course of your lease, then honestly I don't know why it was even purchased in the first place.

    Even if the idea is just to attempt to upgrade then that should not be the responsibility of the buyer to cater for. When you place an item you are committed to destroying it's monetary value; even if the idea was just to temporarily remove it to test something then that's on you, not anyone else. If anything, the focus should be on SE to allow a hard transfer or a temporary inventory for housing items that cannot be returned to the inventory. Anything else is just people trying to completely avoid the consequences that come with having second thoughts on a home/taking a gamble at upgrading.

    See that's the problem like you said SE has designed the system in a method that it is not meant to be sold. Which means very few risk upgrading in case they lose their land. Only real way to sell your house at the moment is not enter it for a few months. Even then you are still back to square one as most likely will be no plots to buy for an upgrade after a few months.

    Sorry the selling player should get plot and permit price back at the very least. Without an incentive to sell or secure way to upgrade houses will not return to market.
    Also cant compare to gear at least with that you can desynth, convert or trade in for points. The house owner is getting nothing back currently.
