Mallorca becomes unaffordable: the housing shortage as a systemic problem

Answer

Is Mallorca building enough new homes for local people?

No, the current pace of construction is not keeping up with the number of new households being formed in Mallorca and the wider Balearic Islands. That gap means demand keeps rising while supply remains tight. Without more housing reserved for permanent residents, the pressure on prices is unlikely to ease quickly.
