Home Exchange in Mallorca: Between a Budget Trend and a Local Balancing Act

Answer

Does home exchange affect the housing situation in Mallorca?

It can have mixed effects. On one hand, home exchange may make use of homes that would otherwise stand empty, which can be positive for local contact and occupancy. On the other hand, if more owners switch between exchange and private use, it may reduce the amount of housing available for residents who need long-term rentals.
