My Dream Home...

I have a question about realty in Glitch.

I've spent about a week cooking, selling and saving for my dream home in Groddle Meadow, and now that I'm so close, all the adorable ones I wanted are gone...

How long does one have to wait until the homes are available again? What makes them become available? Why are they so limited?? Every Glitchian deserves to have their dream home, and it seems that with the huge influx of new players, this has become impossible. It was the one thing I was most looking forward to in the game. I'm so disappointed... Even a hug from my emo bear couldn't raise my mood now. .___.

  • You can get a house when someone sells or if the devs add more houses in that region. Bortola has the same style as Groddle Meadow.

    Kimbers, I see that you have animal kindship, so a house with an animal pen would be more useful, but if you want to plant many trees, the tree houses are cheaper and they have pretty much the same amount of patches and garden crops as the house you wanted. A house is not forever, you can sell it and move to another later on.

  • Thank you for the reply and advice! Unfortunately, all the homes I'd be interested in buying in Bortola have been sold, too. T-T

    I assumed every house had an animal pen. I suppose I should start actually clicking on the homes for details rather than just looking at how cute they are. Lol. Shallow, shallow.

  • What style house are you interested in, Kimbers? In previous forum threads, people have offered to let the OP know when they sell their house or a friend sells a house matching the description of the one the OP is dreaming about, so you could get lucky if you post that info here!

  • just a note about pens....I live in Kalavana, with an underground growing area that has multiple levels...the mid-level acts a natural pen for my piggies.  I understand a similar ledge exists in the Heights homes.  Just sayin'.

  • REALLY!?
     Oh boy, oh boy! ^_^

    Well, I REALLY want a house like this:http://www.glitch.com/realty/LA9CC6NU9MB2PEV/

    But I was willing to settle for a house like this:http://www.glitch.com/realty/LA9CA6MU9MB27U7/

    Or this if I HAD to: http://www.glitch.com/realty/LA98D0AA8EC2DF1/

    But definitely not this (no offense to those who have a home like this):http://www.glitch.com/realty/LA9CAFMU9MB2BTF/

    I hope someone sells a house that a REALLY want. I was going to settle for a 10k home now that I could afford it, but I guess I'd have been unhappy since it's not what I REALLY want. So,  in the meantime, I figured I could sell more sammitches for the extra 5k I'd need to buy it.

  • The 15k cottages with 5 patches are in short supply for sure.  You're welcome to http://www.glitch.com/realty/LM12S1ROK9T19LF/ once the allspice market is kind to me. :-\

  • Okay! Please let me know when you're ready to sell. If another hasn't gone up for sale by then, I'd be more than happy to take it off your hands. :D

  • Karma has smiled upon me; let me know when you're around.

    Kimbers, I have an idea for the Devs. perhaps some kind of thing they could implement that would allow players to CHOOSE the inside/outside look of their house (from a drop-down menu or something), once they pay for it.

    There are sooooo many of the SAME houses out there that nobody wants, because of how they look. I am not a Dev. of any sort, nor a computer "geek" so, I have no idea what it would take to do this, but it would certainly give us choice, more variety and help houses actually sell.

    Just my 2c

  • I am glad Kimbers got settled.... I suffered the same fate. Before the reset I had this style of home http://www.glitch.com/realty/LA98I4RA8EC2EFE/.  Now that I can afford to buy one there's none left :(  Please give us some more homes like that....

  • I'd fancy a 50k house if I could decorate those sterile walls with some snapshottery.

  • Huh, I just sold my house that's exactly like that in Groddle Meadows. Finally upgraded to a 50K house in Alakol. 

    Huh, looks like someone snatched it up already, and its only been a few hours. Well, I'm going to stare at the sky all dreamily from my balcony in Alakol.

  • Yay! I'll be on all night tonight and tomorrow afternoon, Nightclub, so hopefully we'll catch each other then! In the meantime, I'm gonna start pumping out Deluxe Sammitches like never before for the last 2.5k I need. ^_^

    @CJ I agree with you, that would be a nice idea for homes. I think it should be as personalized and customizable as possible. Hopefully, the devs will implement something like that someday. Every Glitchian deserves to have their dream home, and it feels like that just isn't possible with the current realty system. :(

  • They have said in the past that houses will be more customizable eventually and that it was one of the larger features they wanted to get into the game as soon as they can after launch. I would expect houses to be very customizable in the future (at some point, someday... "soon"). :)

  • I keep watching the realty listings hoping for an open spot. Maybe I can bribe someone to upgrade XD

  • I couldn't believe the land rush in the past 3 days. I'd been saving up for a 10k house and had a nice one all picked out only for them all to be gone. I don't want to live underground or in the swamp, so I'll just stick in my apartment and keep my eyes peeled...

    On that note, do I have to empty out my cabinet when I move so I don't lose everything, or can I just switch homes and everything will move with me?

  • You must move everything you want to take with you. Otherwise it gets lost to you. The only thing this does not apply to is the trophy cabinet. It automatically goes with you.

  • Ah, thank you. :) I guess while I'm waiting, I can make a few more currants and buy more bags to move this stuff.

  • Yes! I got my home! Thank you, Nightclub! <3

    Good luck to those who're still looking. It's pretty rough right now... I hope more homes will be added soon.

  • It seems people I have met may have a nicer home in Groddle Meadow then head off for a bog home for the herb gardens and fireflies. I have gained/lost a few neighbors in just this week *good luck*

  • Oh! Congrats! Are you right next to me? I have the Nintendo home :)

  • I'm in 3392, so yeah, I think we're neighbors! ^_^

  • Well, if people are looking for more cottages, cottages of the style they want or upgrades, Mien Evoke, Bortola just had like 8 more blocks added (Garney, they have your dream home!).

  • Congrats!

    Seems like my thread has become a thread of success stories! ^_^

  • Yay!  apparently more homes went up for sale tonight and I was able to quick sell mine and move to the one I wanted!

  • Hi everyone, Anyone selling a 15,000 home somewhere? Not into the pink/red design. 

    Was going to get the nintendo home earlier but looks like they got snatched up!

  • My dream house is a 100K or 150K house in Aranna...a castle. A bit creepy castle. Or a huge mining villa in Uralia.... I am saving, will be ready in a few days! So....lets get some castles ;-)

  • I had a little spot in Groddle Meadows and loved the company - but sadly needed a dark patch for an egg plant. So I sniffed my goodbyes and upped sticks in search of a corner of Groddle Heights... (the Meadows house was gone in a matter of seconds, best luck to the new owner of 6 piggies.). With all my worldly possesssions + gnome "in two carrier bags" I didn't see anything available for a few hours and was almost regretting my decision. But I happened to refresh the realty page later that day and amazingly saw a Heights house with a little 'to let' sign swinging modestly from the gate...(okay, so caves don't have gates, and you buy, not rent, but, you know, it was just as exciting as the moment in 'Anne of the Island.').

    So don't lose hope! There might not seem to be anything in the listings but it sound like many dream homes are still being found between page refreshes!

  • I too wanted a larger house, but wished they would design a larger tree house, or cliff house, They are my favorites.
    Please don't dismiss the smaller houses. I had a tree house first. loved the setting, and my piggys stayed around the garden. (ummm. warning, you can only take one with you, so hope someone happy with Gus, Porthos, and Flying Pig in my old house)
    and discovered, even with transporting, being near a subway is nice, and they are fairly clean and haven't been mugged once!

    When looking for more space settled on cliff house (again in Bortola, my favorite location so far) and with using bags inside the cupboard to hold more it is very useful and it has space above for garden, trees and again the piggies, butterfly, and chicken stay put, and nice thing about it is it has a space inside for an egg tree. so happy for now.
    Would like lots of cupboard space and a great view, but NOT willing to buy a Frank LLoyd Wright clone. why are they the most colorless and least natural of all the houses?
    I love the idea of customizing houses, even if it is just for looks like wallpaper. could make my 'FLWC' house look like my orginal treehouse LOL
    sorry, been a long night and my caffeine wore off and my brain went with it....
