Nervous Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) Fighting the housing drought Major changes to the housing market In order to bring back to life the housing market economy, we've decided to apply the following changes to properties: House requests will now be opened for all houses on the map once a month, following a calendar released 3 months ahead for now. We're revamping the property sale limitations for houses (not multi-interior apartments) to avoid punishing players who used their house as their main home for a long time. The new rule will now be : 0 days to 2 weeks : You cannot sell the house. 2 weeks to 1 month : You may sell the house up to 1x MP + furniture price. 1 month to 3 months : You may sell the house up to 3x MP + furniture price. 3 months to 6 months : You may sell the house up to 5x MP + furniture price. 6 months + : You can sell the house at any price you want. We believe that such system will prevent property flipping while allowing long time house owners to sell the house at the value they seem fit. The map.gta.world 4sale function will not show houses for sale anymore, only apartments The inactivity timer will soon also ensure that you've played at least 5 hours on that character in the past 2 weeks (or 1 month for donators) to prevent characters who are just logging in few minutes every 2 weeks to avoid losing their house : We've evaluated that this will free a lot of houses for everyone too without punishing active players. Apartments inactivity timer remains the same as the original : you'll not be required to play 5 hours every 2 weeks to avoid losing it. Everyone will be granted 1 vacation token per year, using /vacation you'll be able to set your account as "on vacation" for 3 weeks, protecting you against inactivity kicks during that period. (You may still contact PM for other issues / longer time, this is just an automated way to do it) House requests will lead to hundreds of new houses being available to everyone, while driving down the prices of existing houses in expensive areas. The property sale limit removal after 6 months will allow lot of houses to be put on the market with their real value in our economy, preventing the current "house trades" that we currently see due to the existing limit, while also preventing players to make easy money from the real estate market as 6 months will be required. House requests calendar for the next 3 months Process First week: House requests will open up and everyone will be submitting their applications. There will be more than one request for a specific house, we've anticipated that a lot of people will request the same house. Second week: House requests will close and we will not accept anymore requests but during the second week we will start our discussions. Third week: Discussions should have finished and you should be receiving some sort of final response. Fourth week: In certain cases where your request has to be discussed further whether there are complications or things that need to be done first before we give that final response. You could be waiting at least 5 weeks before receiving news regarding your house request. Rushing the process, or complaining about it will simply get your request denied instantly. This includes messaging any admin about it. **Waiting long time does not mean you're guaranteed to be accepted. Appeals can also take over a month. You will not receive an estimate or price evaluation. Warning Please do not get discouraged if you get denied and something along the lines of "Someone else has received this property.". We will be going through hundreds of requests and hundreds of background checks including assets, admin history and so on. We will obviously immediately deny those that are not eligible to receive a house via house requests. Eligibility Here are the requirements to be able to go through house requests without any OOC issues unless you're a certain case. Must not have any admin interaction for 3 months. This includes admin jails, bans. Kicks & warnings can be considered if they are serve.(AFK kicks don't count) You need at least 100 hours of ingame activity on your account Read and understand our property rules is a must. Must be active prior to the house request. Your activity, character's criminal activity, assets, roleplay history, past admin interactions and so on will be evaluated. Be ready to justify everything in your request, and if you are denied for failing to do so, then that's on you and we can't do anything about it this phase. You will not be able to sell the property. If you do not want the property back within the first three months of receiving it, you will get 50% back. If you wish to receive it after actively utilizing it past three months, or wish to change the character/concept - you get 75% back. Furniture worth in full. You're requesting it for the character you're on. You won't be able to give it to a friend, a family member, or keep it when you name change/CK. Some admin punishments could mean your house is revoked, especially if it's an RP or asset concern. And finally what you've all been waiting for! Calendar This will show a three month ahead of time and will be in text format for the time being. House Requests open on : August 28th, 2021 House Requests close on : September 4th, 2021 House Requests open on : October 9th, 2021 House Requests close on : October 16th, 2021 House Requests open on : November 20th, 2021 House Requests close on : November 27th, 2021 Calendar dates are subject to change announcements will be made if changes are done.
