Mallorca in the Stranglehold of Speculation: When Apartments Become Financial Products

Answer

Why are apartment prices in Mallorca rising so much?

A major reason is that investment buyers are increasingly purchasing apartments, often paying more per square meter than private households can afford. That pushes prices up and reduces the number of homes available for people who want to live in Mallorca long term. The effect is especially visible in places with strong tourist appeal and limited housing stock.
