Just from a quick scan of Crystal worlds, I’m seeing maybe 1 personal with no bids per residential area at most. The rest of the 0 bids showing on that one website are unavailable because they opened up after this round’s bidding had already started. (Although a lot of them don’t have data available because they haven’t been updated since results period started yesterday morning, but if you’re actually physically clicking placards, I’ll give you some benefit of the doubt.) Those with results that haven’t yet been claimed all seem to have at least 2 bidders, but most are around 5-10, give or take a few either way. Taking into account all that lost this round, I’d hardly say there’s enough for “everyone who wants it,” not to mention those that just started who haven’t yet unlocked housing and/or amassed the gil just yet.

Although another trend I am seeing that’s probably frustrating to bidders lately, is one or two properties each round, usually with about 5-10 bidders or more, where the winner doesn’t bother claiming them and they get pushed to the next round. After spending 9 months to get a small, I doubt it’s one person winning every time and not claiming, because who could be lucky enough to win that often in a row?! lol But who the heck is bidding and then not claiming? Just wasting everyone else’s time.

At any rate, maybe a little better than it was, but it’s a slow point, at least a month away from a major patch, so hardly good enough to say the shortage is over. There probably wouldn’t be as many plots to even bid on if so many people weren’t taking a break and then getting auto-demoed.
