Haha, well sometimes you might need a house like if youre starting a family. And to answer your question, it was more of a hypothetical. The S&P500 averages around 10%, for what its worth.

You can rent a house instead if you invest the money. Whether that's the right move or not depends on a bunch of other factors.

How much is property tax/insurance? Do you have an HOA fee? What's your expected appreciation on the house (net of upkeep)? What is the cost to rent a similar house? How long do you expect to live in the house?

NY Times has a nifty calculator that takes all those things and more into consideration.
