Palma is getting denser, older and more expensive — How long can this last?
Vacant Homes and Palma’s Housing Problem
Vacant homes may be part of the solution to Palma’s tight housing market.
Published: April 22, 2026
Answer
How could vacant apartments help solve Palma’s housing shortage?
Empty homes are one of the clearest untapped resources in a city with tight housing supply. If Palma had better figures on vacant apartments and stronger rules for bringing them back into use, more homes could return to the long-term market. That would help without needing to rely only on new construction.
