Southern Harbour · NSO monthly data
Il-Marsa saw 122 final deeds of sale registered in the last twelve months, with 130 promise-of-sale agreements signed over the same period. Deed activity is up 22.0% year-on-year; promises of sale (a six-month leading indicator for deeds) are up 12.1%. Data is sourced from NSO Malta's monthly Residential Property Transactions release (NR-142) and runs to July 2026.
Within the period on file, the busiest single month for Il-Marsa was January 2026 with 18 registered deeds. Malta's market historically peaks around December — the Q4 deeds rush in the months before the seasonal stamp-duty resets — and Il-Marsa broadly follows that rhythm.
Source: NSO Malta NR-142 (monthly). Per-locality declared sale values are not published by NSO — chart shows counts only.
Promise-of-sale agreements ("konvenju") are signed roughly six months before the final deed of sale is registered, so the gap between the POS line and the deeds line on the chart is the visible pipeline. Il-Marsa currently has more promises than deeds across the rolling year, suggesting the next twelve months should keep up or accelerate.
Il-Marsa is part of the Southern Harbour district in NSO's locality classification. For the Malta-wide picture across all six districts, see Pedament's Malta property in numbers guide. Per-locality declared sale values are not published by NSO — only deed counts and promise-of-sale counts at this granularity.

NSO Malta recorded 122 final deeds of sale in Il-Marsa over the last twelve months on file (release: July 2026).
A promise of sale ("konvenju") is the binding pre-contract a buyer signs before the final deed of sale. NSO publishes the count of these monthly. Because deeds register about six months after promises, the POS line on the chart is a forward-looking indicator of where deed activity is heading.
NSO publishes per-locality deed counts but not per-locality declared sale values — only the national average is released. Locality-level prices on third-party portals are based on asking prices, not declared deed values.
Pedament re-imports each NSO monthly release (currently NR-142) within roughly a week of publication. The "data as of" stamp at the top of the page shows the latest month covered.
