It can kinda-sorta become an investment but only if you are prepared to move somewhere cheaper to retire.

You can also downsize and stay in the same area. Not uncommon for empty nesters.

You can certainly do very well speculating on real estate, but in most places and most of the time you are better off investing in the stock market.
