When will new houses be added?

After weeks of saving, I have finally gotten to $50 so that I could get a large modern house with an animal pen.  Then I saw that they were all sold out.  :(  Will new houses ever be added or do I have to wait and check the listings constantly to see if someone sells one.

  • New houses are added fairly often, so just keep refreshing the realty page every once in a while. You may also find others selling their houses.

  • We could need some kind of FAQ for questions like this.

  • Ugh I know, I've been checking several times a day...and nothing still. How annoying.

  • I know exactly how you feel. I've been refreshing the Groddle Meadows Realty since I got my papers. And no luck yet. It's sad because Groddle Meadows to me has the small, quaint houses. And that's kinda what I like.

  • Yeah I've been waiting for about a week now. I saw one 30K house but I really want 50K. It figures, when I was saving for my current 15K house, I was tempted to just save the 50K needed at first, but then I *ahem* ran out of spaces to carry stuff >.> So now I'm looking for the 50K model. I check several times a day too and never catch anything before someone else gets it, but I keep trying...LOL if you see a cute 15K asian inspired cottage for sale in Bortola, you'll know I've succeeded :D Good luck everyone! They should just add in some more housing, there's a demand for it and soon the  new glitchies joining will want them too!

  • The realty portion of the game needs a little upgrading, I think. The difficulty moving houses, the lack of upper-end inventory, the inability to co-own houses, the difficulty of co-managing housebound crops/livestock, the very limited means to customize a home, and the inability to rent a home...these are all areas where the game could offer more. 

    I hope the developers are working on some of these enhancements!

  • They are working on most of the things you mention (keyrings, customization on a grand scale), Omar, for certain. Housing customization (and I hope other bits related) is one of the biggest, most important things on their list (as said by stoot in a thread I will have to look up).

    ETA: Here it is, the quote on customization by stoot.

    "This is the most important (and largest) feature we are adding to the game. We originally planned to have it in during beta, but it is very complex! (Whole new UIs, hundreds of items, wallpapers, decorations, new kinds of projects for upgrades, different flexible house "frames" which can be extended in different ways ... all do-able, just a lot of work to get right.) Don't expect it before 2012 and you will not be disappointed!" -stoot barfield

    I know there's been a comment by a dev about key rings to housing as well (not sure who it was). They stated being able to revoke those keys at any time!

    ETA2: Found that quote regarding key rings by stoot as well:

    "This is planned. Keys won't be normal items though, and from your own key ring you'll be able to revoke keys you have given out to other players." -stoot barfield

    So it didn't say any time- but I clearly remembered the word revoke!

  • Thanks for the info, LMG! Something to look forward to. Flexible frames in particular sound like a lot of fun.
