When I started playing this game the question came to me, which houses are the most valuable. I'm no fan of house farming, and limited myself to the number of houses I felt I could accomidate in my Springfield and look good. However this FAQ should help house farmers as well as those who just want the most valuable houses in their vacant land.

Now we've got the numbers out of the way here's my conclusions.
Orange houses are expensive but are good money earners. The 18 hour collection makes collection makes it pretty simple to collect three times every 48 hours. Orange houses look nice which is a plus, but it takes almost two months for them to pay for themselves and about a year before they've produced as much income as a blue house.
Pink houses could have value, but the 6 hour collection makes them far less valuable. Since most everybody sleeps more than 6 hour every night it limits collection to 3 times a day, with very limited exception. And they're not that attractive limiting their value.
Brown houses are first, ugly. However, they can be valuable. However, to make them valuable it takes about 50 collections a day, every day, to make them valuable. If you play all the time you may collect brown houses 20 times, and if you collect them 20 times a day they are the least valuable house in the game.
Purple houses are the first valuable house. They're big and unattractive, but have a good income. However it takes 6 collections 5 days a week and 5 collections the other two days to optimize their value. If you're looking for a causual game purple houses aren't the right choice. However if TSTO is you job then brown and purple houses are the way.
White houses are the best looking houses in the game, and the samllest. Most days you can collect twice, but if you're limiting play to checking in once a day or less they are the most valuable. Their only problem is their initial cost. However, they'll pay for themselves in about a month and then be the most valuable house in your Springfield.
Blue houses are the best investment of all. If you want to house farm you can fit exactly eight blue houses on a single expansion. They fit well in the 4x4 grid and aren't ugly. Plus they fit perfectly into a two time a day collection for casual players with eight hours leeway, and hard core players can get 3 collections several times a week, optimizing value.
Personally I have 20 blue houses and 9 white, purple and brown houses, each in their own neighborhoods, looking good. But all I suggest is you play the game your own way.
Has TSTO made me OCD or does my OCD make me play TSTO?
