You can't pay for groceries with those unrealized gains. You'd have to sell your house. Wait, where will you live?

You can take out a loan on the house with the house as collateral. That's a tactic wealthy people use with their stocks. Also having a home equity loan is a good padding for rainy days.

True but you can borrow against the house to invest, for example
