Housing "resupply"

I was wondering whether anyone has any theories/facts about what triggers the devs to add new housing in particular areas?

In particular, I'm looking to buy a bog house, but would very much prefer to get a 5K or 7.5K house than the 3.5K homes that are currently available.  Is it at all likely that TS will add in additional bog housing of a different type than is currently available, or is it more that nothing will be added until all the 3.5K places have been bought up?

I know some of you like moving around a lot, so I figured you might have some strategies/information/speculation.  Because I am a homebody who finds a place and never leaves.  :)

  • Usually people ask on the forum a lot about a type that's sold out and then a few days or week or so later there's more of that type of housing. It doesn't have anything to do with making sure everything is bought up.

    Though I suspect they'll be a bit slower about it again since we're back in beta (which means no constant stream of thousands of new people) and housing is going to change in fantastically major ways and be very little like it is now.

  • Yeah, count me in as someone who would love a decent bog house. I do keep thinking about getting the 3.5k one, but its a major step down from my current 5 tree Groddle Meadow home just to get a herb garden.

    Especially as I know the houses like mine are sold out, so its unlikely that I would *ever* be able to switch back.

    I know we are supposed to be getting a housing change at some point, but the current housing shortages make it tough for people who'd like to move around and try different things.

  • Thanks Miss Giggles!  Perhaps my post can count as a request for some more of the expensiver bog homes.  :)

    I am SUPER looking forward to the housing change, but realistically it doesn't seem like it's just around the corner, and I would like to get a house in the meantime.  And I was under the impression (perhaps incorrect) that it was relatively easy for the devs to add more housing.  If so, maybe hopefully I'll see some fancy bog houses tonight when I get home from work!

  • I'm in the same boat.  I sold my 30k in Kajuu yesterday and have been obsessively refreshing the "for sale" pages since.  I'm not even sure I want it for the herbs, though that would be nice - I just like the decor of the bog homes and I really want the four rooms the 7.5k bog houses have.

  • I wouldn't worry Zoethor3 I'm sure it's a big boat :)

    I sold my 30k and was planning to move to a 3.5k bog house when I struck lucky with a new area opening up in Kalavana. I was the first to move into my street and got a 4 roomer (even though I thought I only wanted a 5k one)

  • You're welcome!

    And I agree, it doesn't seem like it's right around the corner- possibly a few months or more away. I totally understand the desire for a house, especially one to your specific taste, regardless of the changes coming! I'm also one of those that chooses and stays put. :)
