Answer

What is driving the housing crisis in Mallorca right now?

The main pressures are rising prices, a limited supply of social housing and the strong pull of short-term rentals and investment properties. In Mallorca, that combination makes it difficult for residents and workers to stay in the regular rental market, especially in Palma. Seasonal demand also adds pressure because housing needs change quickly while the supply stays tight.
