Property purchases in Mallorca: Who benefits — who gets left behind?

Answer

What does foreign property buying mean for Mallorca renters?

When more homes are bought as second residences, holiday properties, or long-term investments, fewer are available for people who need to rent year-round. That can push rents up and make it harder for residents to stay in the neighborhoods where they work and live. In Mallorca, the effect is especially visible in areas with strong demand and limited supply.
