Housing: Purchase Timer - Alternative Idea

[Fluffle]

Straightforward, what if SE used a lottery system rather than an invisible timer (which seems to be set to at max of 22 hours) to buy a house (maybe only for post-addition of residential districts)?

Based on my searches, the main concern that I understand that SE has about the purchasing system is that people can sell the houses for (ridiculous) amounts of prices.

So rather, why not use a lottery system where:

1. A house is closed for the initial 24 hours.

2. During those 24 hours, people may go to the placard and enter into a lottery.
- It will take the amount of gil from a player.
- A player will be assigned a number.
- A player can only enter the lottery once.
- Relocating is still instant bypass.
- (At the end, it will just cast a random number generator based on those who entered)

3. After the 24 hours have passed:
- If the player wins, they will be mailed a letter saying so.
- If the player does not win, the gil will be mailed back to the player.
- If nobody enters the lottery, the house will be open [FIFO]
- (Devaluation timer will start)

From the past few days, my friends have been house hunting non-stop. Of course it is our fault for doing so, but it has interfered with our gameplay (and I'm concerned for my friend's physical and mental health at this point lol).

Feedback appreciated for why this might work / might not work, just no toxicity please. Also if somebody else has already posted this idea or anything, links are appreciated because I did fairly minimal research on this topic.
