What I don't want is to pay monthly crowns, like rent, to keep the house.

First off IMO no crown options should exist at all unless these are in-game currency options in addition to crown available like motifs.

Currencies should include:
-gold
-AP
-TV

Other requirements:
-guild size
-quest progression (non-guild homes)

I don't think it should be entirely free (non-crown store) as I'm sure there is a LOT of work involved. I think that you should be able to buy the house in the crown store, but furnishings should be in-game gold (and maybe extra rooms for crowns). As for quests, I just think that mementos from quests should be displayed. Maybe a quest for a secret room, like torture room for assassins and such, loot/treasure room for thieves... lots of possibilities.
But considering the new style parlour and character customisation being ALL crown store only, I'm afraid it will be the same for housing and all it's customisation/furnishings.

At least most of the features relating to housing should be available without spending real money. I'm happy enough if a small amount of it is tied to the crown store though

You forgot to add the most likely scenario. ESO Plus members only.

everything surrounding it on the outside performing well

If it's crowns I will be vagrant and sleep on your lawns .

standard house in game gold, I hope they add drops for decorations in the world, want that palace on the hill over looking the peasants, crown store, some premium items in the crown store.

I would like to see quests related to housing, maybe that could be the way you get your first house, we need options and reasons to play the game, I was disappointed that the barber shop was 100% crown store, and I cross my fingers that housing will not be done the same way, this game needs a sandbox element like housing. If it turns to be another 100% crown store thing, just another thing I will not use.

Quest and gold for the "basic" house (obviously wih the DLC) and crown purchases for fluff, nothing with gameplay perks In crown store though.

The house itself shouldn't EVER be available for Crowns because ESO+ members will get them pretty much "for free". Of course, they pay, but the ESO+ already gives them things non-subscribers don't have or have to pay insane amounts of Crowns and even though they receive a good bunch of Crowns for free.

Crowns those that they can use to buy customizations for their homes just fine, but the house itself is a right everyone must have equally.

First the Crafting Bag, then the Race Change, now you want even the House? C'mon, stop being greedy with this pay-to-win bu**s**t

And before everyone quote me on that, having a house bought with Crowns IS pay-to-win because the most basic feature of House in a RPG is storage. If you have a house, you have more storage. If you don't, you're stuck with the tiny inventory you have, which means you can't carry much items, forcing you to be constantly going to a vendor, reducing the effective game time.

Or buy the also insanely expensive, relatively speaking, assistants.

Not that every house needs to be available in a variety of ways, but give us the option to buy at least ONE with in game gold.
& We won't be able to live on a dlc map unless we OWN the dlc, right?
...so maybe those should be unlocked with quests?

I expect that the result will be exactly like the results of the barber shop.

Almost every community wishes/hopes/suggestions to be ignored and having people disappointed.

Lol whats with the fad of people thinking we would have to "rent" our houses... thats the dumbest thing i have heard and it would never happen... ( famous last words)

You've cursed us all!

There is no way, absolutely no way in hell that buying a house will be anything except crowns, and a lot of them at that.
