    My guess is they'll reduce prices, to allow more people to have a shot at housing.
    How are the rich going to sell them to you if they're already too expensive for you to buy?

    As long as houses are prohibitively expensive, there will be empty houses. Why buy from a reseller when you can just buy one of the empty ones? And don't forget you need to pay twice. Not only does the reseller have to sell higher than they bought it for, but the buyer has to pay that amount twice. If it's so expensive that people can't afford it, good luck with that.

    I really hope you're right. I'm going to make sure I'm ready to log on as soon as new housing is released, just so I can get a plot.

    But just going from what has happened in the past - When the houses were released last December on Balmung, they were all gone more or less within 5 minutes, and the PF was full of people selling their newly aquired homes. - Better safe than homeless, eh?

    With all that construction going on in Idyllshire...I think I'd prefer and it may make more current sense storywise to have housing out there.

    I think the prices just start with the starting price every house had at the beginning before the prices decrease automatic every week.

    Don't listen to them Square Enix, more wards available doesn't mean they have to increase plot prices, on the contrary they would have to make them cheaper because there is more availability and not necessarily more demand!...

    A mentor stole my house, slapped me across the face, and raised my ping from 15 to 30. Literally unplayable.

    ...Can you really truly spend even a day on these forums and then say with any degree of seriousness that the housing demand doesn't exceed the current supply by a lot? I mean only a fraction of the game's population even posts here, and yet housing availability (or rather, the perpetual lack thereof) is one of those subjects that's constantly brought up time and time again in countless threads by different people every time. ._.

    If I remeber it right, house transfer (that allow a house owner to trade his plot for another free plot) is planned to come before Ishgard housing.
