You can buy new housing plots from Tom Nook.

After you unlock the campsite in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you’ll eventually unlock the ability to buy housing plots from Tom Nook, which you can use to set aside land for future residents who will move to your island.

By buying housing plots in advance, you can do some city planning and decide where you want residents to live before they even get to your town.

When you want to buy a new housing plot for a future animal friend, just follow these steps!

Tom Nook will then collect your 10,000 Bells and give you a Housing Kit that you can use to mark where you want the new house to be built.

Head outside and go to the place where you want to build a housing plot. Open your inventory, select the “Housing kit,” and select “Build Here.”

You’ll see an outline of where the house will be placed. If you’re satisfied with your choice, select “This is the spot!” Or, if you want to see a preview of what the housing plot will look like, choose “Let me imagine it…”

If you chose “Let me imagine it…” and you’re happy with the way things look, select “OK!” If you want to place the housing plot somewhere else, choose “I need to rethink it.”

Once you’ve placed the housing kit, it will be ready for a new resident to move to your island!

Hi all,
I've currently got 9 villagers on my island, I'm trying to get one more, I've just gone to Tom Nook at resident services and there is no option to sell land, can anyone help please? Thank you.

Are you playing as the island representative, so the person who started the island? If not, you won't be able to sell land.

Otherwise, the only thing I can think of is that you might have already bought the plot of land, but just don't have a villager. If you have an unused housing kit, or already set it down (you'll see an empty square on your map), then obviously, you wouldn't be able to buy more land.

Does Tom Nook fill empty plots?

If you do not invite villagers, Tom Nook will fill the plots for you.

How many plots of land can you sell in Animal Crossing in one day?

Each day, an empty plot will be filled and only one home can be sold each day. Find Villagers on Mystery Islands - You can go out on a mystery tour and find your own villagers!
