Prices checked directly in Steam 3.0.1 game data on 10 October 2026.

Plot prices and extra gifting

Prices vary by plot. Observed examples include 20 Cornerstones in Seaside Resort, 300 on Mount Hothead and 1,000 on the Moon. These are individual plots, not prices for an entire region.

A universal daily cap and the extra yield from Friendship Flowers or Bouquets are not confirmed in this guide.

Optional: estimate days to afford a plot

Enter your balance, the plot’s price and your daily collection. This estimates savings only, not construction or quest waits.

Enter your amounts to estimate the wait.

Quest waits and Home Level

Hello Home starts at least one daily reset after Welcome Home, once its other requirements are met. Construction takes one game day. Later quests can have separate waits.

Building character homes raises your Home Level and unlocks customization. Each category shows its required level in the game.

These come after their homes and Gifts Galore. Each friend has a friendship requirement; postbox construction costs 3 Cornerstones. Open your friend’s entry before saving materials.
