I moved from Crystal to Primal and have been trying for a house since I have arrived with no luck as I have stated. But I usually go look at the spots before I bid, if there are multiple open spots, and pick the none prime location ones. But even then by the time the entry period is over the spot I bid one went from like 11 people to 50+. Every housing bid I have enter for smalls has 50+ participants in it.
