Final deeds of sale rise 8.4%, promise of sale agreements up 6.8% in November

Malta’s residential property market strengthened again in November 2025, with both concluded sales and preliminary agreements registering year-on-year growth, according to newly published figures from the National Statistics Office (NSO).

A total of 1,083 final deeds of sale were registered during the month – up from 999 in November 2024 – confirming continued transactional momentum despite broader economic pressures. The total value of these deeds reached €321.5 million, an increase of 4.5 per cent compared to the same month last year.

Households remained the dominant buyers, accounting for 91.1 per cent of all deeds, with transactions by individuals amounting to €259.3 million, or just over 80 per cent of total value.

The Northern Harbour and Northern districts once again led the market, registering 258 and 230 final deeds respectively. At locality level, St Paul’s Bay (88), Mosta (58) and Marsaskala (47) recorded the highest numbers of transactions, together representing nearly 18 per cent of all deeds signed during the month.

In total, 1,183 individual properties were transacted in November. Apartments (411) and garages (288) continued to dominate activity, making up 34.7 per cent and 24.3 per cent of all units sold.

The market pipeline remained healthy, with 1,243 promise of sale agreements registered in November – an increase of 79 agreements over the previous year. Households made up nearly 90 per cent of all prospective buyers.

The Northern Harbour district once again topped the list with 374 agreements, followed by the Northern district with 222 agreements. The most active localities were:

• St Paul’s Bay – 96 agreements
• Birkirkara – 76 agreements
• Ħal Qormi – 48 agreements

Together, these localities accounted for 17.7 per cent of all promise of sale contracts registered in November.

November’s data indicates a property market that remains resilient and active, with both immediate sales and forward-looking indicators showing sustained demand. Although growth rates are moderate compared to peaks observed in previous years, the steady increase in both deeds and konvenji suggests continued confidence among both buyers and sellers heading into 2026.
