Why Lloseta ranks so low on the price map — and what that means for Mallorca

Answer

Does a lower square metre price in Mallorca mean housing is affordable?

Not necessarily. A lower average price can hide the fact that renovated homes, larger houses or well-located properties are still expensive, while wages and rents may remain out of reach for many residents. To judge affordability properly, you also need to look at incomes, rental costs, vacancies and the local job market.
