Property purchases in Mallorca: Who benefits — who gets left behind?

Answer

Is it still possible for locals to buy a home in Mallorca?

It is possible, but increasingly difficult in many parts of the island. The pressure from expensive purchases, second homes, and limited supply makes it hard for middle-income households to compete, especially in places with strong demand. This is one reason many workers in Palma and other towns struggle to find housing near their jobs.
