If this is just a stopgap measure It would be reasonable to say there's a much larger rework of the housing system in the works but not much to work on at this point to support that.

They just can't get rid of the additional houses a player might own. Many have purchased housing items out of the cash shop for real money so SE would have to reimburse them for their costs as not every housing item can be kept if players are forced to one house. The only fair thing is to grandfather them and eventually reclaim them through attrition or when the owner surrenders them. To beat a dead horse, the multiple house owners are not the problem. The problem is the current model is not capable of scaling to meet demand. Until that is resolved players are going to be dissatisfied with housing and forcing a few extra houses on the market won't do anything to make it better. In fact fixing the supply problem would put the resellers and RMT folks out of business as there would be no point in buying a house they couldn't sell.
