Hopefully, the suggested Housing Mirage system will happen and that will fill a lot of the demand for mediums and larges.

It's not going to kill all the demand though since it will only affect house interiors, not exteriors.

If Housing Mirage doesn't happen or gets pushed into the distant future, then Reinha's advice is best. Transfer when the new worlds or wards are added so the odds will be in your favor if you're going after a personal house and not too picky about which medium or large you want to get. You would be able to bid the same day you transfer if the lottery entry period is already active. It's only FCs that would have 30 day waiting period before they could enter.

If you're fine with playing on the EU servers, Shadow is going to be a great opportunity. Assuming housing there opens as quickly as it did on Dynamis, your competition would be limited to players likewise willing to transfer to a new world.

Dynamis will probably see the locked wards unlocked before the final 4 worlds are added. While the population on the data center is growing right now, it's still not so high that the last 4 worlds are needed. If the locked wards come first, that would mean competing against existing Dynamis players for the prime locations like the larges unless you want to wait for the final 4 worlds to open.
