With all the new housing plots opening up, I predict there will be a lot of people buying and selling plots in the near future. I also predict that there will always be a housing market in FFXIV, regardless of whether or not FFXIV is a "real-estate simulator". Until an official means of buying/selling housing becomes available, people will simply use unofficial out-of-game methods to facilitate housing sales.

With that in mind, I'd like to suggest a new feature: A housing market board. Players could put their plots (or houses if allowed) up for sale on said board, and other players could buy them from it. Of course, there should be a seller-side "market tax" of about 10% of the price of the plot. There would be no buyer-side "market tax", but you would only be able to buy houses in a specific district from that district's housing market board.

Thoughts?
