Rental yields in Malta
Gross yield is a year of the median local rent over the median local asking price. It is a rough guide to how the two markets sit relative to each other, and today the widest gap is in Floriana at 10.2%. It is not a return: it takes no account of costs, voids, tax or what the place actually sells for.

Supply
What is the cheap end of Malta actually like?
Only 714 of 8,224 homes for sale — 8.7% — ask €200,000 or less. The bottom of this market is thinner than most people expect.
What would make this wrong: Cheap homes sell fastest, so at any moment the bottom of the market is under-represented on any listings site, including this one.

Yields outside 1–12% are suppressed everywhere on this site: they are almost always a holiday let priced by the night being read as a monthly rent.
