There is no definitive ETA on this other than "an upcoming publish". From what I've gathered, I'd imagine at least two publishes (not the current one on TC, but maybe the one after) if not a bit more.
I'd say Khristen's estimate is pretty good
TH, got2 questions about the house moving thing, hopefully you're still checking this thread.
1 - Does this apply to ALL structures, or just houses (IE: can i pack up a factory with 100 input and 100 output items in it, and move it elsewhere and place it?)
2 - Can you pack up more than 1 structure at a time? (like if i had 3 loaded factories, and i wanted to move them closer to my home (due to someone moving out)
1) currently just houses - and that is the current plan
2) multiple houses yes

Ackehece is correct on both counts!

PA or Guild Halls?
I am hoping this is in preperation for the condemned structure purge. Bria looks like a vast wasteland lately....

I'm hoping, too, but THs sneaky about that subject. 
PA Halls, Merchant Tents, Cantinas, Med Centers and Theaters aren't included in this. The functions and skill requirements of those buildings use a different code than what regular player housing does, making it a bit trickier to adapt the system to that.
Regardless I am in no hurry for this one, sounds great and cannot wait to start selling fully decorated homes! I also think what is important to remember that when the purge comes cries will be heard throughout the lands about how this will effect player cities. Last time we had a mini purge Mayors across the land were screaming.

you cant sell decorated homes.....when you pack the houses up into the datapad, it still takes up however many lots the house normally takes.
if it didnt take lots, players could basically store an infinite number of items

PA Halls would probably bug the PA in some way if they were packed.
Last I checked the PA still stayed intact when PA Halls were redeeded, so I do not think that should be the problem. It would be really good if one could also pack PA halls as this would allow one to relocate their hideout more easily when discovered.

Drashk had a great tip on this that we included at the bottom of the feature:
"A very nice potential use of this feature would be for completely decorated house sales. You could have a few model houses set up with furniture for a customer to look at. The customer could pick the home that they wanted. You would then be able to /transfer the structure to the new home owner. They would then be able to pack up the home and move it to the location of their choice.

Are you guys playing "ignore the craptastic patch in hopes the problem... err players go away" game?
I wonder what makes them think they will get the house patch thing right if they can't even fix minor things
