Yes, in Netherlands, rents are higher than mortgage + insurance + maintenance + taxes - tax breaks. That's why everyone wants a house.
A bit odd that you talk about liquidity. The house itself isn't liquid, but you finance it so you don't need a huge liquidity up front. Also, rents paid are no longer liquid to you either.
A mortgage ends one day. Rents do not.
House prices increase 20% year on year in Amsterdam. Even during the 2008 financial crisis did they barely drop in value.
