I'm on 30 years at 1.9% in the Netherlands. Figured rates would go up eventually and wanted to take advantage while I could.

You'd be absolutely nuts to think you'll ever get a rate better than 1.9% average over 30 years. I am deeply envious!

Yeah that rate is basically a TIPS savings bond in disguise.

1.9% gives you protection against rental raises and you build equity. This is an absolute no brainer if there is enough supply.
