Once you have a lot, there are literally thousands of things you can buy. Here are the prices for the "big ticket features":

Cottage deed, 1 platinum (1000 gold)
House deed, 10 p (10,000 g)
Villa deed, 50 p (50,000 g)
Mansion deed, 100 p (100,000 g)

The rent costs per week of the houses are two percent of their initial cost, which works out to 20 gp, 200 gp, 1pp, 2 pp in weekly rent based upon these prices.

All other items that you purchase will be priced as marked and will not have any upkeep costs.

Here are some of the things you can add to your home:

Porch deed, 1 p (1000 g)
Bindstone, 1 p (1000 g)
Vault, 1 p (1000 g)

Alchemy table, 4 p (4000 g)
Forge, 4 p (4000 g)
Lathe, 4 p (4000 g)

Hastener, 100 gold
Smith, 100 g
Enchanter, 100 g
Emblemeer, 100 g
Recharger, 100 g

Healer, 5 platinum (5000 g)

Consignment Merchant, 1 p (1000 gold)

Grandmaster Merchant, 500 gold
Siege Merchant, 500 g
Snowdonia, Druim Cain, or Vindsaul Faste Teleporter, 500 g

All other merchant and teleporter types - 100 gold

Edit - Read the comments on Caoh's link. Some of them are pretty funny

Holy sheeeeeet

I guess I won't be getting my own little nO.ob shack anytime soon.

So let's say you're an LGM AC'er and just want to use the house to craft and sell your stuff. That'd cost you:

1p for Cottage
1p for Porch
4p for Forge
1p for Consignment Merchant
500g for Grandmaster Merchant
1p for Vault

-> 8p 500g

Edit - Forgot to add the cost of lots. I'm guessing it'll be an additional 2-3 plat for a "good" lot.

Here's an announcement posted on the herald about housing that's caused quite a stir in the casual gamer community:

"Up until about an hour ago, the Foundations website had information that was outdated. In the earliest housing design document, there were descriptions of the smallest cottages, whose language implied that they would be an incredible bargain, attainable by "mere peasants," etc. These descriptions were old design ideas, that didn't make it past the alpha stage, but the housing website was based on that old, out of date design document. We apologize for that.

Through interviews and discussions with players, we have been saying that housing was going to be something guilds and some individuals to be very proud of. Our content producer has said "As a solitary player of the middle levels without tradeskills, the playtime invested to purchase and maintain your house would probably exceed what you are willing to invest. Now, having said that – for a small guild of mid level players, it becomes much more feasible to think that a cottage is within your reach." At E3, we showed off grand guild mansions, and demonstrated all the features that make housing so special for groups of players - bindstones, meeting halls, healers, portal merchants, etc.

But our own website had out of date information when it was compared to our message. We have updated this information, and apologize to you. Furthermore, we have heard your feedback and are keeping it in mind as we consider the future direction of Foundations and Dark Age of Camelot."

Severe damage control? I don't get why they didn't just remove the "outdated" parts without saying anything - like they've done so often in the past (maybe the web guy called in sick or something).
