On MTV.com you can find an Interview with Jeff Kaplan, Lead Designer at Blizzard. He talked about the backgrounds of developing The Burning Crusade and also mentioned player housing:
"I think housing can take 'World of Warcraft' to the next level," Kaplan said. "I want to make sure that when we introduce player housing to 'World of Warcraft' we do it right and give the feature the credit that it deserves, which is a massive amount of production time on the programming, design and art time. It's something we actually wanted to do for the original shipping game."

Interesting.
Awesome, I'd love to see some player housing in World of Warcraft. I do remember reading somewhere that Blizzard originally intended to have player housing integrated at Launch in December 2004 but last minute scrapped the idea. No clue as to why.
Anyhow, sounds good... as long as we don't have to wait another year for it, and buy another $40 (USD) expansion pack for it. Blizzard has hinted at yearly expansion packs.
