When will houses be available to private owners?

[Jojoya]

housing is still terrible, i have been trying years and just lost my 9th bid against one other person. im so angry. the dev could at least make so if you don't win it automatically refunds you gil, instead you have to go to the plot and get that condensing message better luck next. there are tons of empty spots on fc only plots now. and still a bunch of wards owned by the same person. there was one plot on the entire server that had no bids. this makes me not even want to play anymore im so sick of it.

If you want a house that badly, there are personal houses available on Dynamis still. You can get the house there and still play with your Aether friends.

This is exactly what I did. I ended up being the only bidder on a personal medium on Dynamis that I moved an alt over to try for.

A few months later, a big round of demolition hit Mateus and my main ended up with a small. Keep your eyes open and always be looking for vacancies and you will see them pop up all over the place. Good luck!
