Over 1,000 more promise of sale agreements in 2025 when compared to 2024 – MDA

There were over 1,000 more promise of sale agreements in 2025 when compared to 2024, information published by the Malta Developers Association (MDA) shows.

The MDA noted a “strong and encouraging” performance in Promise of Sale activity, saying that it confirms that the Maltese property market remains resilient.

“When comparing full year figures, the total number of promises of sale increased from 15,266 in 2024 to 16,636 in 2025, representing growth of 7%. 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%.,” it said.

This level of activity clearly shows that Maltese and Gozitan families continue to view property as their preferred investment, the MDA said.

“Nearly €6 billion in promises of sales underlines continued confidence in property as a long term store of value, while also highlighting the importance of maintaining a market that is fair, balanced, and accessible to all participants.”

Commenting on these results, Michael Stivala, President of the Malta Development Association, said the figures confirm the central role the property sector continues to play in the Maltese economy. He added that the Association 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 said that the Association is looking forward with confidence to a positive year ahead for the sector.
