Too few homes: Why the search for housing in Mallorca will remain difficult in 2026

Answer

Is the housing problem in Palma worse than in other parts of Mallorca?

Palma is one of the clearest examples of the shortage because demand is high and available homes are limited. The housing pressure is visible in everyday scenes around central streets and the Passeig Marítim, where people compare listings while new projects continue elsewhere. That said, the wider shortage affects much of Mallorca, not just the capital.
