I think the best way to get rid of that system where you have to race to be the first, and you always miss it, is to implement some kind of "waiting list"
Meaning that WHEN you have enough money for, lets say, a 3 slot, you can put yourself in a scripted list in-game, and when a 3 slot house comes up for sale, the first player in the list will be offered the house. He can accept to take it, or wait for the next. If he passes it on, the house will be offered to the 2nd player in the list. The first player on the list will stay first, and will get the next offer on a 3 slot.
And, if a player is on the list, but doesnt play, or isnt online during the time the house gets available, it should be passed on to the next within XXX time if he doesnt respond to it.
I could have missed some big problems and issues around this, but to me, it sounds like a fair way to get houses of higher slots.
+1 supra This is so far the best idea here to solve or at least reduce the problem. There could be also one list for 2 slot applicants, another list for 3 slot applicants and another slot for let's say 4 and more slots applicants so things don't mess.
