When new wards come out (hopefully) in 3.1, it will... still be very difficult. You will need to have the money ready and bum-rush the housing zone in order to get the plot you want, alongside several hundred other people, many of which will be competitors for your desired plot.
Edit:
Here you will see an accurate representation of the new housing servers the second they come online for 3.1.

Ugh now I'm just this writhing ball of anxiety now that I've got enough gil to buy the house I want and am just waiting for them to add more wards. What if I don't get the plot I want T_T
Is it going to be so bad that there are like... going to be dozens of people rushing the housing wards soon as the patch is live? I was intending on logging out in the Mist next to the NPC that lets you change wards and staying up to log in as soon as the maintenance was over. Which houses tend to be the first targets? Smalls? The first-class houses, or the cheaper fifth-class ones?
(sorry to hijack this question thread with another question, it's just I wasn't around to buy a house last time they added wards so I have no idea what it's actually going to be like)
