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

Answer

Is it a problem if new apartments in Mallorca are bought as second homes?

Second-home ownership is not automatically negative, but it can become a problem when too many homes are taken out of everyday local use. In Mallorca, that can reduce the supply available to residents and contribute to higher prices or more empty homes in some areas. The concern is strongest when new housing on valuable land is quickly absorbed by investors or occasional users.
