Sample and methodology for Q1 2026
- Source: residential rental listings first advertised on darscover.com during the quarter. Asking prices, not achieved rents or registered contract values.
- Sample: 603 of 619 listings qualified. Excluded: 7 duplicates (same property advertised more than once), 9 price on request, 0 outside the plausibility bounds (EUR 100–30,000/month), 0 flagged for quality.
- Source concentration: the sample comes from 2 advertising sources; the two largest supplied 100% of qualifying listings. Figures describe what those advertisers ask, not the whole Maltese market.
- Suppression: any bucket with fewer than 10 listings is suppressed. Movement requires both quarters to clear the floor and to draw on a comparable mix of advertising sources.
- No movement against 2025-Q4: the listing sources changed materially (source mix overlaps 67.9% (minimum 80%); cohort size differs 3.1x (maximum 3x)), so a change in the median would describe a different inventory rather than a change in asking rents.
