That they aren't taking one of them indicates they aren't really interested in housing and so SE has no reason to open up the additional wards.
People are clearly interested in housing, but clearly not enough to live in ugly ass Goblet. They rather bid on plots with others bidders than to get guaranteed in Goblet.

You also underestimate how much are people informed about relocating, or even it's existence.
Even if they are, you still lose 85% of your original house's price, and not everybody is fine that, even for S costing "just" 4 million.

But reality is that truly dead servers like Saggitarius has 1300+ houses, which is where I would understand not opening wards. So once again, it's SE being lazy and wanting to open wards of all new servers at the same time, instead of doing that based on individual server's need.
