They're being paid for being the first person to snap up a 3 million gil item in a sea of people who can afford it.

Fewer people can afford 40m than can afford 3m, so more houses will stay open longer. This means placard hunting is easier, so buyers are less motivated to pay reseller prices when they could do it themselves. With the investment so much higher, many resellers will not be able to afford. Those that can will find fewer buyers than before, less profit being made than before. This will have an undeniable effect on the market. You speak as if because the FC selling market would merely be crippled and not gone, like the relocation market would be, that the solution isn't worth it.

I agree with you that 'housing for all' is best, but I don't think SE is up to giving up 80 wards or giving us instanced housing.

That's literally what I'm asking for.

Right now 'the right time' = 'any time between 0-22 hours after this house opened.' Before the timer, the right time was just being the first one to sweep when the house demolished.

Those who have 'the gil to buy immediately' should have the opportunity to do so. They do under my system, and doing so creates a gil sink for billions per year, instead of fueling a exploitative player market.
