Tonberry is a fairly high pop server with approx 12k active players (still waaaaay short of Balmung, but it's enough for character creation to be consistently locked). I think if people are REALLY wanting houses, they are there. May be worth taking something that's not your absolute dream and relocating once something else becomes available. If you really want a house for housing benefits, it'll be worth it either way.
