Real estate ownership is concentrating in fewer hands in the Balearic Islands. Official data confirm that owners of a single house or apartment are becoming fewer and, like pure communicating vessels, the group of multi-property owners is increasing. In less than two decades, the proportion of cadastral holders with a single urban property has gone from 64.78% in 2007 to 54.61% in 2026. Meanwhile, all brackets of multi-property owners up to 25 properties per person are growing, and the jump is especially pronounced among small and medium-sized holders.

Would you buy some talaiots? The real estate market in Pla de Mallorca continues to surprise: the estate called S’Hort de Sabor has been put up for sale, a plot of almost 64,000 square meters, 9 quarterades, which is part of the homonymous estate of Sabor. It is within the municipal district of Montuïri and very close to the well-known archaeological site of Son Forners.

L’Auba, the property of the Majorcan painter and sculptor Joan Riera Ferrari, is back on sale. It is offered at a reduced price and with the possibility of being acquired "with all the author's memories and furniture", according to the note accompanying the real estate advertisement, which sets the price at 750,000 euros, 16% less than what was previously asked. The property, with 670 square meters built, six bedrooms and parking, is located near the Bandrís road, the slaughterhouse, and the municipal treatment plant. In fact, it was already put up for sale a few years ago, shortly after the artist's death, in May 2017.

He was manager for a brief period of the Palau de Congressos de Palma and, therefore, also knows public management. However, Josep Sintes has dedicated a good part of recent years to studying the phenomenon of the excessive increase in real estate prices, in which he currently works. Doctor in Economics, he has sent a proposal to all parliamentary groups in the Balearic Islands to find concrete solutions to the housing emergency, which he has named the Insular Framework for Territorial Equilibrium (MIET).

Three years ago, the Catalan government gifted the former agricultural chambers to the three agricultural organizations and some local councils. Now, three years later, these old buildings are following a mixed path. UPA-AIA has just sold the house that was once owned by Montuïri. Unió de Pagesos, after an internal debate, will transfer the Sant Joan agricultural chamber to Ibavi, from which two or three social housing units could be created. Finally, Asaja has stated that it intends to maintain ownership of the Sencelles agricultural chamber and under no circumstances sell it.

Real estate agencies have found a new niche market to exploit in the Balearic Islands: fishermen's cottages (casitas varadero). While the Balearic Islands are experiencing an unprecedented housing crisis and residents are finding it increasingly difficult to buy a flat or house to live in, speculators have found a new tool to speculate.
