Rental madness in Mallorca: Shed in the field for €695 — Who owns the island?

Answer

Why do some Mallorca listings look absurdly cheap or overpriced at the same time?

Mallorca's housing market is fragmented, so the same island can produce very different rental offers depending on location, legal status and demand. Some listings are basic but priced like full homes, while others reflect the scarcity of housing rather than the quality of the property itself. That is one reason many locals find the market hard to understand.
