Good luck, everyone else wants it too.

Probably no earlier than 4.1 I'd guess. I don't think they've said when, just "later."

[ErikMynhier]

4.01 I think.

4.1 is when

Atleast 2 weeks minimum I'd say.
And I am sure they will not open servers earlier after the maintenance, like how they did last time when they increased the numbers of districts.

They wanted people to have plenty of time to enjoy the story instead of rushing through it just to secure a house.
And good luck with getting the house.
Most people (me included) will be parking our characters ready to buy houses when servers opens up after the maintentance.

They said if you already own a house or an FC house you could move it but that will be later. They want to give those who dont own houses a chance first.

I have not heard anything about it being later or not.
I'm just hoping it will atleast the at the same time so everyone have an equal chance.

And isn't it only GC houses that can be transfered?
Not heard anything about personal houses either.

I don't recall that ever being said, I actually recall that it will be available at the moment that the new area is available. For FC at least.

Q: I would like to know the details of the house moving system! I would appreciate if you could let us know how the feature works and the steps required.

A: In Stormblood, we will introduce a new housing area called Shirogane. Players will not be able to purchase housing at the launch of 4.0; however, they will be able to visit the housing area. The moving feature will be implemented at the same timing that the housing plots become available for purchase. Additionally, players will be able to purchase an apartment in Shirogane as well.

As for the feature itself, the steps in which the players need to take is pretty simple. When accessing the sign board of the plot to purchase, players will be presented with an option to move, so they will just need to select that option. You will then be required to purchase the land.

When moving, all the existing outdoor and indoor furnishings will be stored into a new storage space of the newly purchased house. It would be possible to retain the original housing layout; however, when moving to a different sized plot would cause the placement to be different. Therefore, we decided to take this approach.

The moving feature will transfer the personal chambers, company chest, company workshop, and airship voyage status, as well as the chocobo stables.

They never said later. All that's been mentioned is people with houses can transfer. I very much doubt they'll only open it to people without.
