Ive always thought it would been great if they picked out a certain number of areas, where you could buy property(in the wilderness, or near villages), and build ur own house, farm or perhaps even castle.
Though, more important then the customization, i would like to see more use for houses. In oblivion, most of the time, they would just feel like big containers where you store ur weapons/armor. There should be possibility to hire servants, or perhaps create a extra bedroom and hire it out to another person, or something similar.
It could also have some use in quests, for example, if you were to meet a person in a week from now, you could tell him to meet you at ur house in X place.
My absolute game-dream in a game like this would be able to build a entire villiage though, become the ruler/lord of ur own town. With ur own castle. And you could build a wall around the village, decide who you wanted to sell the houses to, hire guards and so on. Then there could be quite a lot of customization, on how the houses looks, and especially the castle, being able to upgrade the castle quite a lot, put taxes on the villagers etc.. and there could be small events, like bandit attacks, festivals, or perhaps a rival village that would cause trouble.
