Airbnb Cleans Up: What the October Removal Means for Mallorca

Answer

Will Mallorca’s housing market improve if illegal Airbnb listings disappear?

Removing illegal listings can make the market easier to monitor and may reduce pressure in some neighbourhoods, but housing shortages are caused by several factors. If enforcement is inconsistent, some rentals could simply move to other channels instead.
