So much so, that almost four out of every ten homes sold in the Balearics during the third quarter of the year ended up in the hands of foreign buyers. Specifically, 37.2% of the transactions registered between July and September had a buyer from outside the State, the highest proportion in all of Spain. The figure places the Islands well above the national average, which was 16.05%, according to data from the Association of Registrars.</p>]]></description>

A proportion that doubles any figure from other autonomous communities.</p>]]></description>
