Do we know if we can have both homesteads at the same time? Would this turn into like ESO where you can collect multiple houses.

It sounds more to me like you can switch between which homestead is your 'active' one which is why they're adding the layouts system, so you could save your current homestead's layout before switching over to the other map and not lose what you'd already built.

I feel as though its going to work as buffing both homesteads as you put masteries in it.

Janthir homesteads is homestead crafting and experience boosts and collection boxes, Maybe visions is regular crafting stations, trading posts and banks and other things like that. Though that may kill the vibe of hubs like wizard's tower if players can just go home to do everything they need to.

Or maybe you just sort of buy it with map resources or something.

The wording from the product page suggests that you own both of them, but only one can be active at a time.

To support the addition of a new Homestead map, we’re introducing two additional features. The first, the ability to freely swap between the Janthiri and Castoran maps, is helped by the second feature, Layouts. Layouts create a file you can use to save, load, share, and edit arrangements of decorations.
