That's something I've brought up in the distant past. SE should give players an incentive to voluntarily relinquish a house they are no longer interested in owning to free the plots up for players who are still trying to get a house.

At the time, the typical response was "that would just make things even more profitable for the house flippers" since this was when there was no lottery and relocation bypassed the purchase timer.

Now that the lottery prevents that sort of activity (other than selling FC with house outright), it may be a good time for SE to revisit whether someone voluntarily relinquishing a house should get the same 80% back as those who have their house auto-demolished. The current policy of no refund encourages players to hold onto plots they don't want because they've already paid for it, or at the very least hold onto it for the additional 45 days to get the refund instead of getting it back into the supply for the next lottery period.
