It amazes me that in the US you can fix for the life of your mortgage. Here in NZ 5 years is close to the max.

It’s an insanely great deal. In California you pretty much lock your property taxes as well with Prop 13.

Not to mention you can write off mortgage interest up to $750,000 mortgage debt come tax season. Saved me 20k+ in income tax.

you can fix for full mortgage in denmark, europe too. I'm not sure which other countries do this.

Almost nowhere. Ireland and the UK are max five or ten year fix, unfortunately.
