Answer

Why are more homes in Mallorca being passed on within families?

Family transfers have become more common because many people in Mallorca cannot afford to buy on the open market. When prices stay high and rentals are tight, parents or relatives often transfer property to help the next generation stay on the island. It is a practical response, but it does not solve the wider housing shortage.
