Every house in Medivia changes hands through a public auction. Find a home you like in the listing, open its page and place your bid — the highest offer standing when the timer runs out wins the keys.

Each house is auctioned and rented in a single currency, Gold Coins or Medivia Coins — the listing and the house page show which. To bid on a Gold Coins house, your character must be offline and hold a confirmed balance in the game bank equal to or greater than your maximum bid. To bid on a Medivia Coins house, your account must hold that many Medivia Coins; the bid reserves them until the auction is settled, so in the meantime they can neither be withdrawn nor spent elsewhere. Coins kept in game can be added to your account balance through their context menu and arrive at the next server save.

Winning is not the end of the story. At the next server save the winning bid is collected, and from then on the monthly rent is debited in the house's currency — Gold Coins from your bank balance or any depot, Medivia Coins from any depot or your stash. Keep it funded, or the house is lost.

Living arrangements can change: use !leavehouse to move out, or hand the keys to another player with !sellhouse playername. Both characters must stand close together; a trade window opens with the deed of ownership and the buyer pays the exact asking price.
