Balearic Islands over 1.25 million — How prepared is Mallorca really?

Answer

Why is long-term housing becoming harder to find in Mallorca?

More people are choosing to stay on the island for longer, so demand is rising not only for holiday lets but also for permanent homes. That puts extra pressure on the rental market, especially in Palma and other places with strong job demand. When more workers and families want to live year-round on Mallorca, affordable housing becomes much harder to secure.
