Malta Development Association President Michael Stivala remarked that property still remains the clear investment of choice for Maltese families as the MDA released new market data.
The MDA’s data shows that 16,636 new promises of sale were signed in 2025, up by 7 per cent from the 15,266 signed in 2024.
Over the same period, the total value of promises of sale rose from €5.11 billion to almost €6 billion, an increase of €851 million or 17 per cent.
This data represents new commercial and residential promises of sale and doesn’t include extensions.
It isn’t official NSO data but is based on information compiled by the MDA every year from different estate agents and developers.
Commenting on these results, Mr Stivala said the figures confirm the central role the property sector continues to play in the Maltese economy. He added that the MDA will keep pushing for reforms that strengthen long-term industry sustainability, support responsible urban development, protect the green environment, reduce unnecessary red tape, and ensure a fair system for buyers, sellers, and investors.
He also stated that the Association is looking forward with confidence to a positive year ahead for the sector.
