4.0 Housing

[Dustytome]

With the new wards not being released until sometime after 4.0 it makes me want to stop the auto demolition of my FC house. I remember last time it said it would come "some time after" a patch and it was close to 6 months. I am so on the fence about it really. I have time, but waiting 45 days seems like not a long time but it is for someone who is waiting lol.

There's 112 days until Stormblood is being launched. Even if you started the timer now and even if housing were ready at launch, that's 67 days you'd be waiting without a house. I'd keep it and wait out some more information on the move ability. We don't know pricing or anything else on moving. If it gets close enough and you still don't have info (or you gain more by letting the house melt) you can get the demo timer going. Otherwise you might be without a hou... I just noticed you're on Mateus. You're not going to have trouble finding a house are you? ;D

Does anyone know how much housing would cost for a plot there? (I want it so badddd) ;; I probably won't get one, cause I only have 1mil, but in a place like Balmung... any estimates?

Pricing hasn't been given yet. I'm not sure if they'll make it any higher than current housing, but I'd aim to save up a bit higher just in case.

Adding to the above, the current prices are (unchanged since patch 3.3):

Small: 3 to 3.75 mil (Permit = 450k)
Medium 16 to 20 mil (Permit = 1 mil)
Large: 40 to 50 mil (Permit = 3 mil)

Just to clarify, the purchase price is only for the land, the house is the permit and can either be bought direct from the placard at the house for the prices above, or can be traded from other players (or bought on marketboard where someone has listed one).

I just bought a medium in Lava beds, not interested.

I think its very unlikely that pricing in Shirogane will be any different than any other housing ward. An arbitrary increase in price, just because the area is new, serves no purpose other than as a barrier to entry to the people least likely to be able to monopolize multiple houses anyway.

Anyone able to afford multiple housing will hardly notice an increase in the plot cost and anyone who struggles to afford housing right now will find Shirogane completely out of reach financially. Which doesn't seem to make much sense.

I don't see any logical reason SE would make Shirogane any more expensive than the other wards.

Was talking about this with my friend if the new houses would be eastern style

Omg I'm so excited now XD

[Lissandra]

If anything, I hope SE adds more wards on top of releasing Shirogane... Like say 4 and beyond.

Honestly I'm hoping reasonable pricing I'm at 20 mill ATM hoping to finally get a house in the new expansion medium housing is my goal but there is little to no information on housing pricing which begs the question how much more do I need to make >.< !!!!!! Gimmie an estimate Yoshi p!! So I can finally stop being a hobo

worldofneil above listed the prices, and I highly doubt they will change with the new area, considering they're flat rates across all areas.
