How much dev time is spent on housing?

[Raven2014]

Who is this all for? What percentage of players own houses?

I don't think this is really relevant. Look at Savage and the % of people clearing it. Look at Ultimate and the % of players even just setting foot in there. And those contents take far more resources than furnitures while cater to probably even a smaller of player base. It's not really a 1 to 1 comparison, they do it for the shake of the overall health economy of the game.

I'd wager more people participate in Savage then actively decorate housing (That is, decorate for more then an afternoon, doing more then just putting up some Maui Island heads in their yards)
