RENTAL prices in Gozo have
increased significantly between
2022 and 2024, reflecting grow-
ing pressure on the island's
housing market despite its tra-
ditionally slower pace of devel-
opment compared to mainland
Malta. According to data pub-
lished by Solidarjeta, tenants on
Gozo have experienced some
of the sharpest percentage in-
creases in recent years, particu-
larly in the two-bedroom rental
sector.
IN 2022, the average monthly
rent for a two-bedroom apart-
ment on Gozo stood at €562.
By 2024, this figure had risen
to €800. This represents an in-
crease of 42.35 percent over a
two-year period. While Gozo
remains cheaper than many
localities on the main island,
the rate of increase has raised
concerns among residents,
housing advocates and workers
whose incomes have not kept
pace with rising costs. Gozo
has long been viewed as a more
affordable alternative to Malta,
offering lower rents, a quieter
lifestyle and closer communi-
ty ties. However, Solidarjeta's
findings suggest that this gap
is narrowing. The report shows
that demand for rental prop-
erties on the island has grown
steadily, driven by population
movement, lifestyle migration
and increased interest from re-
mote workers and short-term
residents.
