Now I have an Ishgard house.

Just convert your "hours of clicking" energy into patience. The lottery happens every 9 days. If you're getting 1 other bidder every time, your 50/50 chance is going to turn into a win soon enough.
I don't disagree with you entirely, but it's a little odd to say just try again next week and "if you're getting one other bidder every time". Supply is going to dry up, there will inherently be more bidders on each available house each round because less houses will be available. It just gets harder as time goes on just due to supply being nowhere near the demand.
