Here in Seattle our house prices have been rising quickly for a few years. Since my house is paid off, I see this as part of my overall investment portfolio. Frankly, it is about 50% of my total investment portfolio.
Now being 1-2 years away from retirement, many would suggest a 60/40 (Stock/bond) type portfolio. But, knowing that there is a huge real estate investment out there, causes me to think I need to up the bond percentage on the portfolio to make up for the huge risk in my home.
Hope this makes sense....
Basically with a million dollar house and a million of investments, the 60/40 split seems very risky if I look at the $2M investment overall.
