The comparison counts only the costs of owning you never get back: interest, running costs and what the deposit and purchase costs could earn elsewhere. Loan repayments build equity, so they are left out. So is any rise in the home's value, because nobody knows it in advance. Rents here are the asking rents of apartments listed on immotop.lu, charges excluded (Observatoire de l'Habitat), so they run above what sitting tenants pay and the yield reads a little high. A commune with too few listings takes its canton's figure, or Luxembourg's.
