When 6.0 housing drops will be the best time to get a plot.

In the meantime, I'd keep an eye on houses in the Goblet - that tends to be the least preferred neighborhood and occasionally there are houses sitting empty there for a whole day, with the hidden timer expired, on my server. Years ago I found an empty plot sitting in the Goblet - I was sure there was someone trying to negotiate a sale and I didn't want to snipe it, so I waited 10 minutes.... and nobody ever showed up. The demolition timer was down at the time, so my guess is they switched servers and had to give it up. So I bought it.

Then you'll already have a house, and you can be the one to break the hearts of everyone camping the plot in the other zone by relocating instead.
