Answer

How could empty homes be brought back onto the market in Mallorca?

One proposed approach is to require owners to report vacant homes and then introduce a gradual vacancy tax. That would create pressure to either use the property or return it to the housing market, while also helping authorities understand how many homes are actually unused.
