1) Multiboxing 40 alts would require 40 systems the game could run on.

2) To buy a house you still need to have certain requirements to fullfill, like reaching level 50 and being a second lieutenant in one of the GCs. They would need to level 40 alts to 50 AND do all that GC-stuff (I doubt that buying jump potions would be worth the investment)

3) Other people - no matter how good that persons scrpits are, I'd imagine they'd end up in a queue just like everyone else so its not a given that all 40 alts will get logged in in time.

4) The question: Can 40 alts even be created on the server in question? Some servers are after all simply completly locked for character creation or only have some tiny windows to allow for a few characters being created. Lots of the bots we're seeing atm on the EU-servers are being created on the new ones and use the world travel to come over, because they just cant create characters on the popular servers.

5) To make 40 alts on one servers you need to buy the game 5 times and pay 5 subscriptions... not impossible, obviously, and I suppose we all know of someone doing that to game the housing market, but still not a very likely scenario.

I'll give you the benefit to assume your post was a bit hyperbolic, so to answer the underlying question: Will the housing market be gamed? - Sure, to a degree, probably. Globaly speaking the odd plot will go to someone who technically shouldnt have that plot - like a shell-FC. But log in queues, restrictions on character creation and who can even buy land are making a scenario you described pretty unlikely...
