If you are planning to just sell the house for a profit, then don't bother buying it right now. If you are planning to keep a skycastle at all times, then buy it now. If you want to always have a house then buy it now. From my observations, the house's sell price starts off at 90% of its purchase value. Every week, the value increases by 0.5% of the purchase value (i.e. interest is not compounded). If you plan to always keep a skycastle at all times (i.e. you will eventually sell the house, but you will always re-buy it), it would take 220 weeks for the price of the houses to double. It is only at this point that the full price purchase would have made you as many tokens as the half price purchase (you would have gained 17500 in interest on the full purchase vs. 8750 on the half price purchase, giving you 8750 extra tokens in interest, which is the amount you originally saved for the half price purchase). Basically: If you want to buy the house just for the token interest, buy at full price. A house will only make you profit if you play for at least another 20 weeks. If you want to buy a house because you want a house and are planning to play the game for another 4.23 years, then buy at full price. If you want to buy a house because you want a house and are planning to play the game for less than 4.23 years, buy it at half price. This does not account for opportunity costs of not having the 8750 tokens saved on the half price purchase for 4.23 years (i.e. potentially missing out on sales). Or maybe you have everything you need and have enough tokens for everything you need that's going to come out for the next 4.23 years. In that case there is no opportinity cost.
