As gil sink housing barely does anything. A single purchase that can last for years barely makes a dent. You can easily make millions of gil per month. Relocating on that therefor barely does anything, even on large houses. Most players that have a house will have it for a very long time (easily years).

Relocating is only disruptive towards new buyers. Since their opportunity of finaly getting a house might be spoiled hard. Seeing your 25% odds (which are already bad) turning to 10% just because of relocaters is not good. Especialy when the next cycle you end up at 0.5%.

At the same time, if as relocater you instead get a penalty in your odds. You wont be even closely harmed as much, since you already have a house anyway. You can just try without any risk of losing your house. 25% for someone without house, vs 10% for someone who already has one, still means a 75% chance for the one without, to remain without. And this is still the number that matters most. Since even with a 99% chance of winning as new buyer vs 1% of a relocater, if you get that 1% case, its still leaves him without house. Yet in the 99% case, for the relocator nothing changes, he still has a house, just at a less optimal place for him.
