Imo, the actual demand is more likely to be just a few hundreds on worlds outside of Balmung based on the number of bids when there are only smalls available since we'll have to include relocator bids as well whenever there is a medium or large up for bidding. Which means that 4 mixed wards plus 1 private ward in 6.3 is definitely more than enough for everyone to get a house.

Despite all the complaints and gnashing of teeth in the forums, I do sincerely believe that the addition of wards plus auto demolition on 6.3 will finally solve FFXIV housing woes once and for all.

Though good luck if you are a fellow Balmung denizen lol!
HA! Must be nice to be so blind. Last time when they opened 10-18 for personal, there was thousands on bids on Midgard where I am. There has not been 1000s of people getting houses since then. People haven't been bidding because they believe its hopeless. They wont believe it was hopeless with the new wards, bids will go WAY up. Triple++ Just like they did the last time they opened more wards to personal. They have only been 'consistent' because people have given up trying a long time before new wards were announced. And now that they are here, they will be coming back to try again. If I know so many people like this, I know I'm not the only one who knows people like this. They have been disheartened and driven away. They will be back for the new wards.
