@Prinzinc MC cannot teleport an entire house at once (and teleporting it in sections would be sure to have issues), so it was always necessary that there be people where he built it. What would have been smarter, however, would have been to have the werewolves build it by teleporting them to the remote location in question. These are marginal improvements, however. There's always a trail. They weren't combing the planet because they had already narrowed it down, but recall that they combed the planet to find those clues that narrowed it down and would have continued to do so if they hadn't been able to triangulate him so neatly. Mages are incredibly powerful and can influence mundande governments. Harnessing satellite imagery and government surveillance and tracking techniques (that are quite frightening when focused on a single target) would have surely found him. Staying mobile would be the only way, and even that has its downsides (pick one wrong site, for example, and unexpected local supernaturals might spot him). Not to mention, staying mobile is very stressful for a family, so he was going to have to settle down at some point. I do agree an observation period would have been prudent, given he expected the attack.

@Nelson Mandela I think you missed a few things.
1) At the very end of this chapter, the MC teleports his whole house, basement and yard combined. So, yeah, this was apparently always possible.
2) The MC has been triangulated to the Midwest, going south to Texas and moving further south through Mexico. Anyone who was looking for him now would follow that same line. BTW, he's been found multiple times precisely because he kept on following that same line so if he really wanted to avoid getting caught again, he would put his house on an island in the pacific ocean or something (access only by portal).
