You didn't say if you are still working. Presumably you are not yet retired, at 51, if you want to spend 50% on your NW on a house is fine as long as you plan to accumulate/save that 50% over the next 10 years or so before you retire. If you currently have $2M, and you are spending $1M on a house, then you better be saving another $1M and more over the next 10 years before you retire.
If you have $10M and want to spend $5M on a house, that may still be a stretch because more expensive house means much higher expenses.
