Who Owns the Island? How Institutional Buyers Are Changing Mallorca's Housing Market

Answer

What is changing in Palma’s neighbourhoods as more homes are bought for investment?

That can affect local shops, daily routines and the general feel of a street or block. The housing market is not just changing prices; it is also changing how neighbourhoods function.
