The number of deals concluded also increased by 10%: from 1,593 in April 2025 to 1,738 in April 2026. Thus, the current year continues to show steady growth in both volume and value of transactions.
The positive trend is particularly noticeable in the overall performance for the first four months of the year. In January-April 2026, the total value of purchase and sale agreements amounted to approximately 2.255 billion euros, which is almost 347 million euros more than in the same period last year.
The MDA emphasizes that these figures confirm the role of the real estate sector as one of the main pillars of the Maltese economy. At the same time, the growth is explained by real economic demand, increased employment and long-term investment confidence, rather than speculative market activity.Experts also draw attention to the recent statement by the Governor of the Central Bank of Malta, Alexander DeMarco, who noted that in recent years, housing prices on the island have been somewhat underestimated. The current approach of prices to a fair level, according to the MDA, is a sign of a healthy market correction.
The association called on political parties to maintain a responsible approach to housing policy, infrastructure and environmental protection during the election campaign.
