Yeah.

The most effective use of "house millionaire" wealth is to pass it on to one's heirs, I suppose.

I’m planning on moving back to Western PA for at least some of my retirement. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/5680-Saltsburg-Rd-Murrysville-PA-15668/10683340_zpid/

30 minutes to skiing, 30 minutes to an incredible orchestra, 5 minutes to fishing on the river…

But seriously, our house has gone up dramatically. But if I sell, I just have to buy somewhere else. No gain.

I see it as part of retirement as well. I can move to a lower cost of living place when I'm older.

My son has been in his home less than 5 years. He could make $200K on it, easy.

We bought 6 years ago. The current value is 150% what we paid.
