Is the New Zealand property market "stuck," or is it quietly preparing for the next big shift? While global headlines are heavy with oil shocks and geopolitical tension, the ground-level data shows a market holding its nerve—and in some regions, completely shattering expectations.

In this episode of The Week in Review, Debbie Roberts reveals why "sideways" is actually a strategic accumulation window, how to navigate the bizarre new world of AI scams at the Tenancy Tribunal, and which NZ regions have already fully recovered to their 2021 peaks.

Inside this week’s breakdown:

• The Global Ripple Effect: We look at the "Fuel Storm" and Middle East conflicts. Is the uncertainty creating a "buyer’s standoff," or is it the perfect time to negotiate?
• The Regional Leaders: While Auckland waits, Christchurch and Southland are already back at record 2021 levels. We unpack why these regions are the "canaries in the coal mine" for a national recovery.
• AI Hallucinations at the Tribunal: A major warning for landlords! We expose the surge in AI-generated scams and 100-page "hallucinated" claims causing chaos at the Tenancy Tribunal.
• The April 1st Wealth Shift: The 80% interest deductibility return is here, plus a 20% accelerated depreciation boost for businesses. We show you how to turn these tax changes into immediate cash flow.
• The KiwiSaver Hardship Reality: With a record $49 million withdrawn in March, we issue a critical warning for anyone on benefits: don't let a hardship withdrawal disqualify your entitlements.
• CEO Mindset: Why the most successful investors treat a sideways market as a "building phase." Learn how to act as the CEO of your own financial future.
