There is a third option, Home World Transfering to a Preferred+ world demolishes the house and gives you the gil back plus a little extra. Of course then you are on that world for at least 90 days and can only get off by paying money (or hoping the world statuses change favorably).
Thank you, this is very helpful to have confirmed. I'll have to try to remember not to visit my house for 45 days.
