[Housing Problem] low supply + lots of demand

[Gramz]

Are there any plans to open up more houses / apartments?

Have driven around searching, tapped connections, weazel news pinged, forum posted and PM'd etc and the consensus seems to be there is just a very low supply of for-sale houses and tons of people want to buy property. 

Perhaps this is just the snapshot state of the market and the pendulum will swing back, but it is rough to have money and be stuck living out of the parking lot  

Suggestion: Auction off more property, open up an apartment building or two, or other solutions welcome

Yeah its pretty impossible to find a house unless you have millies in the bank these days, back in 2017-2018 when i started playing it was quite easy to acquire a house but still took a lot of hard work. The prices around two months or so were quite high but reasonable and stable but with all the new players it is impossible to buy a house. It's quite demotivating to have a character with a lot of money that is homeless because there isn't any houses for sale on the server. It also seems stupid to make and work to acquire money when you can't spend it on anything except cars. I've alredy suggested that adding more houses is a good idea, and have gotten lots of lots of +1's so i hope it will get passed soon. I know the admins will auction off a few houses this saturday but im sure someone will bid super high on them and they won't change the market at all and just go to the rich people on the server again. The few people that are actually selling their house are selling them for extremely unfair markups just because of the high supply and micro demand. Doesn't really work out in a fun or fair way. Hopefully there will be some sort of fix to this soon.

Look at the market place threads for these types of advertisements. This is the one for real estate: https://forum.eclipse-rp.net/forum/20-real-estate/

Thanks for the quick reply. And yes I'm aware of the real estate forum, the imbalance of [buy] vs [sell] can be seen there, too.

 

But perhaps more importantly, the RP issue of having so many people driving nice cars, having money, but sleeping in the parking lot together. 
 

There should seemingly be some sort of basic living apartment available to people.

Nobody here is selling any houses, literally only people buying houses. Thats the problem. The market is completely ruined currently and the prices have gone up crazy amounts because of the high demand and low supply. It doesn't work out. My character drives a 400k sportscar but can't get a basic house.

+1 there are houses with admin markers that are planned on being implemented sooner or later, but I think those alone won't be enough considering how many players there are now. Apartments will need to be implemented at some point so there isn't a shortage

+1 Waiting for more homes to be added

Or what if we add a system that the owner can put the house up for rental and he would still OWN it but someone could come up to it and would have to pay weekly for renting the property

hey man, i get what you're saying. I'm trying to fix that and hope that they accept and go through with it

Anything is for sale at the right price. There’s plenty of houses if you can afford them.

There needs to be more houses added to the game.
