I have been playing about 11 months. About 6 months ago, I was able to buy a small house for 5 mil. Then I recently demolished it and bought a medium after about a month of constantly keeping watch on the plots. I am not on a huge server so I imagine that helps. I suggest perhaps changing to a smaller server if you are into housing. Unfortunately, this cheesy game doesn't allow you to take your house with you upon moving. First MMO I have played that is a bad.
