True -- I've had a house for years and I don't think anyone other than myself has set foot in it. And other than my FC house (that I do visit quite often), I haven't visited anyone else's house unless it was for an event (like making a themed layout for a seasonal event).

That said, my house is on the beach in Mist with the retainer bell and marketboard right out front. As a result, I have run into randoms on occasion and have enjoyed the casual interaction. But that really didn't have anything to do with my house - it was just because we were both near a public facility.
