Global Trade Market...questions...concerns...complants!!!

Is it me or does it seem like the stuff you need is never on the market, There were points in the game where I didn't have enough gold to buy the furniture store or the plant place but I needed chairs and grass to develop my buildings, as they were part of almost every devolpment. I ended up taking a lot of time to buy furniture place and plant place now that I have them they're always in the market when I look and hardly ever in my required materials to upgrade, very fustrating
