It doesn't matter how many can afford 40 million versus 3 million. What matters is how many houses there will be compared to those who can afford the 40 million.

If we're still only seeing 6-8 houses relinquished/demolished per world a week, those houses won't be staying open any longer than they currently do.

You're also overlooking that if the prices go up, players who want a house will start earning and saving gil for the new price because that's what it will take to get a house.

The exploitive market will continue to exist because the supply is still lacking.
