Methodology

Data is aggregated from multiple sources across Malta. Properties are deduplicated so each listing is counted once.

All prices shown are asking prices (not transaction prices). We use median rather than average to reduce the impact of outliers. The "fair price range" represents the 25th–75th percentile for each locality + bedroom combination.

Data is refreshed daily. Property counts and prices reflect the current active market as of today.
