Housing shortage in Mallorca: Why even retirees are now leaving the island – and what can help

Answer

Can selling a home in Mallorca make it easier to move back to the mainland?

Yes, for some people it can. Property prices on the mainland are often much lower than in Mallorca, so selling a home on the island may allow a retiree to buy somewhere else with less financial pressure. That decision is not only economic, though, because it also means leaving behind a familiar community and daily life.
