Gonna give my 2 cents on the matter since it only took me 4 years to realize the housing forum exists.

There is no "housing shortage" on the majority of servers. Taking a look through Paissa, most have over 100+ open plots with Dynamis being the obvious exception with 1000s available on all servers. Primal even has between 200-400 open on most servers. The only servers that have under 100 plots open are Sargatanas, Midgardsormr, Balmung, Mateus and Excalibur (I would constitute under 100 being a shortage). So, we've established that there are houses for people to get if they want but people aren't buying them. This means that the issue is moreso a "pickiness" thing rather than "I physically cannot get a house because 0 are available".

If you personally don't want to transfer for a house, that's entirely your choice. As others have said already however, going to Dyna for an easy house (0 bid plots) is the only option for you right now. There is no guarantee we're getting any more districts or that they'll expand housing within the next 6m+, so I think ya'll should decide for yourself how much you actually want a house.

If you're holding out on getting a house simply for the fact, for example, that you don't want a small in Goblet....you're creating your own problem. I got a house in my first week in Diabolos just by going for a small with plans to upgrade in the future and won it on a 50/50. It was that simple.

I just really can't get behind the idea that there's this big shortage on all servers when I stare at the plots around me that are empty because people don't want to take less than their ideal. I think we should just start calling it what it is: "People only want specific plots and won't take less."
