If you look at income and ignore their wealth, maybe it seems strange. But they have > 1.4 million in equity. They're allocating < 15% of their equity.

At the end of the day they'd be sitting on a mortgage that's only 2-3x their annual income, that's very reasonable.

If you look at current prices, and think that they can only rise, that's very reasonable. Otherwise, that equity can be wiped out pretty quickly.

I suppose what I find strange is killing it on an investment (turning 400k into 1.5M) then turning around and reinvesting in the same inflated asset-class. Hence my comment regarding buying a more expensive home AND dumping money into it.
