As a promotional set, Houses of the World 3 has the potential to appreciate in value, especially if kept in mint condition with the original packaging. Its appeal lies in its cultural theme and limited availability, making it attractive to collectors. However, promotional sets can be unpredictable; appreciation is not guaranteed and depends heavily on demand and future availability of similar sets.
