Just a heads up:
Each "ward" (housing instance) has a very small finite number of plots available, and they cover the wide range of prices.
Ul'dah has a total of: 20 small lots, 7 medium, 3 large lots.
There are currently five wards available, making the current total of available houses (In Ul'dah) 100 small, 35 medium, 15 larges.
What this means is that because of the way they said they were going to handle ward creation, if you want a large lot, and instance 1 is where everyone is buying in Instance 1, then you'll have to move to Instance 2 (or 3-5) to pick up a large, where it's possible you might be the only house there.
This behavior does have a bit of a bonus, I guess; you could theoretically 'claim' a ward to be 'RP heavy' by having roleplaying FCs who want to build a neighborhood claim a bunch of houses in the ward and make a note on the Forums to let people know as such. Non-RPers are probably more likely going to avoid buying there in theory, as long as it doesn't become something ridiculous like a bunch of guilds needing larges all of a sudden.
