This is such a good thread - I'm happy to see people getting houses and being excited to decorate them. ^^ I already had a home (Lavender Beds plot 9) but three of my friends were planning to buy the empty plots (7, 8, 10) around me when personal housing opened. Well, two of them managed to get plots 8 and 10! The third was just barely beat out by someone, a guy who was obviously looking to be near his FC house, but they still managed to get a house in the same ward, so it was pretty successful overall! I have active neighbors now and I'll be helping to make furnishings for my friends who got houses this patch. Super stoked!
