I think that is a meaningless figure since the home's value is of no significance to the retirement plan, but since you asked...
I just did a quick calculation because I never really thought about it before. If we build a nest egg of $2.5 million and our home appreciates at 5%/year, we'd end up with a home worth $675,000. That is a total of $3,175,000. The home's value would be about 21% of that total.
