Exorbitantly Expensive Living: Why More and More Mallorcans Are Leaving the Island

Answer

Are short-term rentals making housing harder to find in Mallorca?

Short-term rentals are widely seen as part of the pressure on the local housing market, especially in the most affected areas. When more homes are used for holiday lets, fewer remain available for residents who need year-round housing. That can push rents up and make long-term planning harder for local households.
