I can’t read that, but one of the unique features of the “standard” US 30-year fixed rate mortgage is that there’s no penalty for early payoff. As a result, it’s easy to refinance when rates go down, which is almost certain to occur during the 30-year period. This capability is priced in to the rate.

5.44% right now, still well below the US rates (~7%).
