You are correct and I agree. Housing such as in Ultima Online worked this way. It had a good economy and I was a my server's top real estate agent for the server. I wouldn't just buy plots to to flip, I would find buyers for places and find sellers for homes that matched what the buyer was looking for. It was a good business. This is how housing works IRL so I see no reason why it should not work like this in video games. I will state however that house plots big and small are needed to be added.
