Malta's official index rose 6.7% in the year to Q1 2026 — but Malta publishes no official price in euros. The medians below come from live portal listings, labelled as exactly that, from Marsa at €224,000 to Valletta at €945,000. Know which number you're reading.
Figures verified 16 September 2026Malta's benchmark is the NSO Residential Property Price Index — built from roughly 1,400 actual transactions per quarter, using tax-authority data (base 2025 = 100). Q1 2026: index 104.19, up 6.7% year on year and 1.8% on the quarter. Apartments +6.9% y/y; maisonettes +5.3%. The run-up through 2025: +5.7%, +5.6%, +5.7%, +6.1% by quarter — steady acceleration, no spike.
Activity is strong: 13,339 residential final deeds in 2025 (+5.9% y/y), worth about €3.97 billion (+12.5%) — an implied average of roughly €298,000 per transaction (our derivation, not an official figure).
Because no official locality prices exist, every figure below is an asking-price median from live portal listings — the djar.ai Malta Property Index, which aggregates ~36,000 deduplicated listings from 12 agencies (July 2026). Asking, not sold.

NSO Malta publishes the quarterly RPPI (contract-based, tax-authority data), transaction counts and values by district, and building permits — but no locality prices. The Central Bank of Malta publishes the advertised-price index as a quarterly spreadsheet, plus housing-market analysis in its Quarterly Review. Eurostat carries Malta's harmonised house price index.
For price levels you're reliant on portals: djar.ai (locality medians and €/m² from ~36,000 aggregated listings, updated daily), propertymarket.com.mt (a 30+ agency marketplace), and the big agencies — Frank Salt (est. 1969), RE/MAX Malta, Simon Mamo — for listings and locality guides.
