When does a new villager move in?

[Fhillup]

So yesterday I got my 6th villager, and I'm wondering when a new house comes. Is it when the 6th villager is unpacking, or is it when the 6th villager is already unpacked?

Yes, it could come when the villager is unpacking

[sub]villagers usually come a few days after a new villager has arrived or the 9th villager moves out. just be patient![/sub]
