Real Estate in Mallorca: Fewer Buyers, Higher Prices — What's Behind It?

Answer

Why are there fewer property purchases in Mallorca even as prices rise?

The island’s housing market is constrained by limited affordable supply and persistent demand. Many transactions are not simple purchases but gifts, and buyers who do buy often take on higher mortgages. For January through July, around 8,006 properties were sold, about ten percent fewer than the same period a year earlier.
