When will houses be available to private owners?

[Boklarokk]

For multiple lottery rotations evey available house has been resticted to fcs only and noone is bidding. They are juat sitting there unused. Any idea when they will be avaliable to private owners?

From what I'm aware only wards 1 through 9 as well as 25 are FC exclusive on all worlds except the ones on Dynamis on Materia datacenters, as well as Phantom, Sagittarius, Alpha, and Raiden (Those particular worlds don't have plots in wards 25-30 available for purchase yet).

Did you sleep through the past round when the houses from the auto demo wave went up for sale? Some personal houses on Goblin even made it through the round with 0 bids. I found 0 bid houses every housing district, not just Goblet.

As for FC only wards, those are limited to wards 1-6 and 25. I'm not saying that it can't happen, but don't count on SE shrinking that pool any further.

I think you've missed out on the changes to the ward designations because i know there have been plots available to private buyers on Goblin recently.

Currently on all worlds that do not have the New status:
Wards 1-6 and 25 are FC only
Wards 21-24 and 30 are private only
Wards 7-20 and 26-29 are available to both FC and private buyers

A quick check in Mist alone comes up with about 40 plots open in the wards available to private buyers. Some of those houses are still unclaimed from the last entry period but some were also relinquished/demolished since and will be available for entries in the next lottery entry period that begins Friday morning. Make sure to look at the subdivision listings in addition to the main ward to see what's available then.

Do you mean to ask "When will the FC only wards permit private bids?"

housing is still terrible, i have been trying years and just lost my 9th bid against one other person. im so angry. the dev could at least make so if you don't win it automatically refunds you gil, instead you have to go to the plot and get that condensing message better luck next. there are tons of empty spots on fc only plots now. and still a bunch of wards owned by the same person. there was one plot on the entire server that had no bids. this makes me not even want to play anymore im so sick of it.

If you want a house that badly, there are personal houses available on Dynamis still. You can get the house there and still play with your Aether friends.

This is exactly what I did. I ended up being the only bidder on a personal medium on Dynamis that I moved an alt over to try for.

A few months later, a big round of demolition hit Mateus and my main ended up with a small. Keep your eyes open and always be looking for vacancies and you will see them pop up all over the place. Good luck!

That’s what I thought they meant too. I think all wards will be mixed again eventually… isn’t that what happened before? Just took a wander through the FC wards on my server last night… almost exclusively smalls, and the overwhelming majority had 0 bids this lotto cycle.

I’m not sure when they’ll take a look and decide to change it or not, but if it changes, they’ll probably wait for a patch to do it.

I doubt they will ever get to the point where all are mixed for buyer type. SE wants to make certain there are always a few houses available for newly formed FCs.
