Supply is the problem. There simply are not enough houses for every player and FC that want a house. Except during the first hour that new wards are being added, getting a house will always be difficult unless SE finally decides to address the underlying problem. What changes they announced in the last live letter will not fix anything. They just push the problem around in different ways.

For now, don't worry about where the house is located. Just get what you can. Once you have a house, you can relocate to a more desirable plot if one becomes available (relocation bypasses the purchase timer since the net number of available plots isn't changed).

There are housing discords where player share information about newly available plots and tips for buying. You might want to join one if you're a Discord user.

Also, check around with friends you've made in game that have a house and see if they're willing to add you as a tenant. Some players with houses aren't actively using them so they're happy to give their friends access so they can decorate and/or garden. You won't own the house but at least you would be able to experience what it's like to have one.
Hiee!~ Wow, thanks so much for the well thought out and detailed message. Your answer makes a lot of sense to me. I tend to impulsively spend my gil on other things and then I wind up having to save all over again. What I want is any house really- with your explanation I’m trying not to be too picky. I know this may seem like a silly question but how would I find a housing discord? Provided you know of any! Great info. When you mentioned the first hour of new additional plot- do you mean frequently added ones?
