Who owns Mallorca? When almost every second home in Andratx, Deià and Calvià is in foreign hands

Answer

What does foreign ownership mean for the Mallorca housing market?

Foreign ownership can reduce the number of homes available for long-term local living, especially when properties are used only part of the year or left empty. That can make it harder for workers in tourism, construction and services to find housing near their jobs on Mallorca.
