Who owns Mallorca? When almost every second home in Andratx, Deià and Calvià is in foreign hands

Answer

Why are housing prices in Mallorca so high in some areas?

One major reason is that many homes are bought as investments, second homes or temporary bases rather than as long-term family housing. In places such as Andratx, Deià and Calvià, strong demand from buyers with no local tie can push prices up and make affordable homes harder to find for people who live and work on Mallorca.
