Add a personal detail — a memory, a name — and get something made just for your Father-in-law.
Wishing you all the best in your new abode! I'm sure it'll take decades for you to find something wrong with it... or minutes, knowing you.
May your new home be filled with joy, laughter, and an exorbitant amount of unnecessary gadgets you simply 'had' to have.
Congrats on the new digs! We're all thrilled for you, mostly because it means we get to experience a different route to Thanksgiving dinner.

To your new home! May it be a place where all your 'sage advice' finds a willing (or at least captive) audience.
Common questions
Why send a sarcastic housewarming wish to my father-in-law?‹
Because he probably expects something sappy and you're not that kind of person. A well-placed sarcastic remark shows you know him well and aren't afraid to be authentic, which he might secretly appreciate more than a bland sentiment.
How do I ensure my sarcastic wish is taken lightheartedly?‹
Context is key. Ensure your relationship with your father-in-law allows for playful banter. Deliver it with a wink, a smile, or a slightly exaggerated tone. If in doubt, pair it with a genuine, albeit shorter, warm wish to show your underlying affection.
What's the best way to present these wishes?‹
A handwritten card always adds a personal touch. You could also include it in a gift tag attached to a thoughtful (or ironically practical) housewarming present. The delivery method should match the casual, humorous spirit of the message.
