Mallorca in a Dilemma: 1.5 Million Inhabitants, Traffic Jams and Housing Shortage – A Reality Check

Answer

Is it still possible to find affordable housing in Mallorca?

Affordable housing is difficult to find in many parts of Mallorca, especially in areas with strong demand. Households already spend a large share of their income on mortgages, and the shortage affects both local families and workers in the service sector. The situation is made worse when homes are used for short-term stays instead of long-term rental.
