I'm not sure why you would want to have a target percentage. In general, I want to have as much saved/invested as possible.

The size/value of your house should be determined by what you need, rather than a percentage of your net worth.

If I were to retire tomorrow with a net worth of $5 million, I wouldn't be looking for a $1 million home. Such a home is simply not necessary. (Note: I live in the Midwest, not California).
