Meh, cool on them if that is what they want to take on.
I must be doing something seriously wrong in life cause I wouldn't even entertain the thought of a $675k-$725k house/mortgage with their job situations.
But at the same time, if you are considering a boathouse and a farmhouse in your search then I'm sure there was ample houses to pick within the city before settling on a fixer upper in Orangeville but to each their own.

Our budget was $725,000 and below, hoping for something more like $675,000. When you type that into a Toronto real estate app you don’t get many results. So we widened our search. We looked at half a dozen places around the GTA, including a houseboat in Scarborough and a farmhouse in Richmond Hill.
