: You must still complete any prerequisite quests (like becoming Thane or helping citizens) before the purchase option becomes available.

This glitch works on all platforms (PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch) and relies on placing your gold into a container before the game "takes" it from your inventory.

: Talk to the Steward and select the option to buy the house.

: Stand near a chest, cupboard, or dresser within reach of the Steward (the person who sells the house).

: The timing can be tight. Always create a hard save before attempting the glitch in case the gold is deducted before you can stash it.
