This plot of land is not yet ready for purchase

[MizArai]

is that true?

so I could for example pay some guy to relinquish there large plot. and then move in to that plot straight away because I have a small and can relocate immediately?

if that's the case then what the hell is the point of the random timer???

*giggles* Where have you been these last few weeks? People have been complaining about how relocation by-passes the random timer and how people are still selling plots to relocaters (as well as houses with an FC attached, the easiest way to sell a house). The point of the random timer seems to be keeping people from getting into the housing market by not letting them purchase their first home from a flipper. And so people will have to camp placards forever, only to have to switch to a different placard somewhere else when someone relocates to their camped plot. It's lots of fun trying to go to different cities to figure out where someone moved from so you can camp the new RNG timer from the relocated plot.

In all seriousness, I really wish there was some distinction between a house that is available for purchase and a house with a timer. And it's a really awful experience to camp a plot for 5+ hours only to have someone relocate to it.
