That's interesting move
I'd sell, trade or give away mine too if I could (and for a lot less than 15,000 crowns). I only use it for furniture storage and I don't have that much furniture.
It is a pretty house, but it's just not right for me. It's too big, with too much open space and a layout which is clearly more intended as a temple or other public building than a house. Also the total mis-match between the outside and the inside bothers me (from the major things like all the floors and rooms which simply aren't there to the minor things like windows in the wrong place). I also don't like that the light never changes and the sky looks weird, and unless you pay for a wayshrine or find a friend to teleport to it takes too long to get from there to anywhere else. I understand why other people like it but it really doesn't appeal to me.
Maybe that's affecting my perspective but I'm really surprised that they'd try to sell it after giving it away free to so many people, and especially surprised that they'd charge the same as for other notable houses. I appreciate it's the same size but I think even if I was the type to pay that kind of money for a virtual house it'd seem unreasonable knowing it was given away a year ago.

LOL! What a joke.
Looks like Z0$ is canceling the "Summerfall" event this year, too, since they canceled the annual/semi-annual Midyear Mayhem event already.
Can I sell or 'gift' my Grand Psijic Villa away for 15,000 crowns? Because I'd love to.

They ain't "cancelling" it, it was an one-time thing to promote Summerset (not unlike how they promoted Morrowind by handing out a nix-ox mount).
If anything, there will be a different, separate Elsweyr event.

I'd hardly call that an event. They just gave out mounts, no different to daily rewards we now got. Summerfall was a big event with cool rewards that lots of people would still like to get. They could make an Elsweyr themed one with new reward and chance for new players to catch up with the last year's one. Instead we're getting repeat of Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild and a house on 150$ "sale". Is their marketing department run by monkeys?

It’s a bad deal ONLY because it was free previously. Similar prices to other houses of that size.
Weeeelll, you don't *have* to buy it.

we all know people dont buy homes for their functional perspective, otherwise why not have one small one medium and one large house.

Exactly, and my opinion is that at a fundamental level, the $107 villa is exactly the same as the Coldharbour house that can be got for gold, (no need for real world cash at all), and a lot less gold than equivalent products.
You are entitled to disagree. I respect that. However, you are not going to change my ultra-literal perspective.

And I'd say looks do matter. People care about new houses in this game exactly because of that, for me looks are part of the functionality. And the price tag of 107$ for any cosmetic in game item is ridiculous in my opinion.
