Answer

How can high average incomes in Mallorca's mountain villages affect rents and housing?

Higher average incomes can push up rents and limit housing availability, especially where second homes and seasonal use are common. Municipal tools like pre-emption rights and rent caps can help, but require careful implementation. The result is a balance between attracting residents and keeping homes accessible for year-round locals.
