New Apartments in Rafal Nou — Locals Demand the Truth About Target Buyers

Answer

Are new apartments in Mallorca usually sold to foreign buyers?

Not every new development in Mallorca is aimed at foreign buyers, but some projects are clearly marketed that way. That can create tension when locals feel the island’s housing supply is being shaped by demand from outside Mallorca rather than by local need. The issue is less about nationality and more about whether the market leaves enough homes for residents.
