1 medium and 1 large. Thinking about one of the manors but I have more than enough room in the other two at this point for everything I have and much, much more.

Only got the free room from the quest.

atm, prices for blueprints and crafting materials for furnishing are high, so I'd rather sell everything related to furnishing.

Will probably buy a house for gold (from my ESO+ membership) later this year when the market for furnishing is saturated and prices for blueprints and materials drop.

Until the housing system is vastly improved I'm going to hold off. I am very excited for the day the housing system is actually fun and useful though. If that day never comes then I'll just stick to enjoying hideout creation in Path of Exile.

And I will proceed no further until they add storage. I see no point in investing in something that's not only utterly useless but also a time and resource sink. I will collect blueprints and crafting materials in the mean time. I have enough gold to purchase all 3 castles and become count, but why would I do that?

I've decided to not participate in Housing due to a few decisions regarding how it works that were made for reasons I do not agree with.

Only received the free quest reward broom closet... I mean inn room and have no intentions of purchasing a home or ever using the housing feature in it's current state.

The housing (IMO) is terrible; lazy and lacking many features found in other MMO housing systems (EQ2, Rift, DAoC, FFXIV, etc...). Houses are all copy and paste from other buildings and NOT unique. The prices are absolutely ridiculous (gold and especially crowns) for the size and lack of functions. No storage, pets can be placed but they don't roam around or have any interactions and just do their little animations in the static spot you placed them in. Just to name a few of the issues. EQ2 has a much better and far superior housing system and is a 12 year old game.

I love ESO and can't wait for Morrowind but Homestead was a complete let down. Thankfully it was a free update and hopefully ZOS will only improve on it over time.

Homestead is useless for now.

I am waiting to see how much of a PITA it is to get blueprints and furnishing items along with the writ vouchers.

So far I have only gotten one master writ that gave me 2 vouchers out of 18 writs I did on my master crafter that has all crafts maxed, traits reseached and most of the motifs known. I have 3 other crafters that have max cloth, wood and metal crafting. Out of 36-39 wirts I got no master writs from them so I have given up on doing writs on them until I do some more trait research on them because its a waste of mats and I cant keep up with the mat drain.

If that kind of rate continues, it wont be worth buying a house that will take 10 years to furnish. I already have one job that actually gives me real money and paid for my real house. I am not going to make ESO into a job to furnish a virtual house.

I bought the Daggerfall estate or whatever. Incredibly Great exterior and some sweet natural lighting inside BUT no fireplace or pit!!

I bought mournoth with gold. I like it but I really want the demesne large home. It's the only one that doesn't look like something I've seen in the game a hundred times. And it actually has rooms. Now if only gold wasn't so hard to come by

I was planning getting a manor
but with no vaults no storage ?

In daoc I hade 8 vaults a cm mercahnt who sold my crafted items and npc for portals and soo and here I get nothing ?

Soo maybe some good looking rp house gotta look closer into the housing options

Got the Sleek Creek Rawl`Kha house for gold. Much sweetness . Wanted that house even before housing came to PTS, was often eying it from the rocks above and started saving for it well in advance.
Now I could even afford a couple of small to medium houses more, or maybe save a bit to get the Gorinir estate for my bosmer - I like the jungle ambient sounds so much in that one.
Been quite lucky to get nice blueprints from drops or trading some from others, and selling my unwanted blueprints in guild stores so crafted furnishing has not been costly and I`ve been able to afford some nice achievement furnishings too.
Ive really enjoyed Homesteads, very happy, though the furnishing mats drops seem a bit low/require determined farming.

I've got three free inn rooms as I have multiple characters from all three alliances (and continue to receive the quest on my other characters, not sure where that will lead me). I've also bought Captain Margaux's Place in Daggerfall because it is so central to the facilities I use regularly. I used crowns as I don't participate in the trading system so don't have much gold, want my houses furnished with a view to topping them up from crafting rather than fitting them out from scratch, and don't have anything else to spend my subscription crowns on. I shall shortly be buying Hunting's on the same basis as well as it's the most attractive of the largest houses/manors so far as I'm concerned.

I don't role-play with others or have in-game friends or guilds so other players visiting doesn't come into it, but I have always enjoyed the extra dimension that housing brings to MMOs especially through the furnishings, displays, harvesting and crafting etc. In this case the travel options are an added benefit too. I really like the way that ZOS have implemented the housing system, it's very close to that in EQ2 which is the best system I've encountered previously.

Pretty much my thoughts too after trying them on the PTS.
