Una de cada tres viviendas vendidas en Baleares en 2024 fue comprada por un extranjero

The Balearic Islands lead Spain in the acquisition of housing by foreign nationals, reaching more than double the national average, followed by the Valencian Community and the Canary Islands. This concentration highlights the geographic diversity of foreign interest, with British and German buyers being the main purchasers nationwide during the last quarter of 2024. Despite these high figures, experts point out that foreign buyers are not the primary cause of the difficulty in accessing housing for local residents. They typically target higher-cost properties and conduct many transactions among themselves. Although there has been a slight decline in foreign remote work, foreign demand remains stable and consolidated against the broader market context. This report is relevant for open data because it illustrates the importance of disaggregating real estate information by nationality and location. The lack of detailed data by autonomous communities for certain national groups limits the capacity for specific analysis. Therefore, promoting open and granular statistics is essential to understanding market dynamics and designing effective public policies that balance external investment with local access to housing.
