Almost four in ten purchases by foreigners – Who still owns Mallorca?

Answer

Why is more data on property purchases needed for Mallorca, and what is missing?

Public data often lacks a regional breakdown by municipality and buyer origin, and details on use (primary residence, second home, rental, or corporate purchase) are limited. Without this granularity, policymakers struggle to tailor effective housing measures for different parts of Mallorca. Better data would enable targeted interventions.
