Malta continues to demonstrate its appeal as a robust investment destination, with the residential property market showing significant momentum in August 2025.

According to the National Statistics Office (NSO), 1,020 final deeds of sale were registered, totalling nearly €300 million, marking a 6.5 per cent increase in transactions and an 11.6 per cent rise in total value compared to August 2024.

While individual buyers dominate the market, corporate investors are increasingly participating, particularly in high-value segments. Deals involving companies accounted for €54.7 million of the total transaction value, underscoring Malta’s attractiveness for business investment in residential property.

Prime locations for investment

The Northern Harbour and Northern districts remain the most active, with 271 and 174 deeds respectively. Key localities such as San Pawl il-Baħar, Birkirkara and Marsaskala collectively contributed nearly 18 per cent of all August transactions, reflecting concentrated demand in sought-after areas.

Property types attracting the most interest include apartments (37.1 per cent) and garages (24.1 per cent), demonstrating both residential and ancillary investment opportunities.

Looking ahead

Promise of sale agreements, a leading indicator of future market activity, also showed growth, with 1,052 agreements signed in August, up 5.3 per cent year-on-year. This ongoing demand signals a stable and profitable environment for investors seeking both short-term returns and long-term asset appreciation.

For investors, these trends highlight Malta’s resilient property market, high-value opportunities and strategic localities.
