Residential property prices in Malta rose by 6.9 per cent in the second quarter of 2026 compared with the same period a year earlier, according to the latest figures published by the National Statistics Office (NSO).

The Residential Property Price Index (RPPI) stood at 105.94 during the quarter, while prices also increased by 1.6 per cent compared with the first quarter of 2026.

Apartments recorded the strongest annual increase among the property categories covered by the index, with the Apartments Price Index rising by 7.4 per cent over the year to reach 106.31.
