Well no; If the seller disbands the FC, or even just leaves it before the month is up, then the house just explodes and is gone. The plot becomes empty and available for anyone in the next round.

The seller has to remain in the FC for 30 days now, then pass lead, then leave. A month before the sale concludes is a lot of time to scam the buyer.

And that risk seems to be clearly shown in the substantial drop in sales now. Where there were 5 or 6 a day before, now there is one every 5 to 10 days, and they are just not selling.
