The Menai market, from a lending angle

Menai is one of the Shire’s newer family suburbs, largely built from the 1980s onwards on the western side of the Shire. It’s almost all houses, many with four or five bedrooms on generous blocks, with Menai Marketplace at the centre and bushland around the edges. Units are rare: fewer than 20 sold in the past year.

Without a train station, Menai suits families who drive, and most buyers here are upsizing into more space. That means bigger loans, so structure matters: offset accounts, splitting fixed and variable, and how the new loan fits around the sale of the old home. Blocks near the bush can also raise bushfire questions for building and insurance.

Indicative medians as at October 2025 and October 2026, rounded from public market data. Each covers all bedroom counts across the 12 months of sales to that date. In the year to October 2026 that was 124 houses (mostly 3 and 4 bedroom). Only 18 units sold, too few for a reliable median. Changes are approximate. Not a valuation. For current numbers on a specific property or street, just ask.

Menai questions, answered

Can we meet in person in Menai?

Yes. I’m based in Ramsgate, so I can come to you in Menai, or we can do it by phone or video.

We’re upsizing. Should we sell first or buy first?

Both work, and each has trade-offs. Selling first gives certainty on your budget, buying first means you don’t miss the right house, and bridging finance can cover the gap. I’ll model both so you can see the cost of each.

Should I split my loan between fixed and variable?

Many families do. Fixing part gives certainty on repayments, while the variable part keeps an offset account and room for extra repayments. The right split depends on your cash flow and how long you’ll stay.
