The Balearic Islands closed 2022 in the midst of a perfect real estate storm: with a combination of exorbitant prices, salaries lower than the Spanish average and the most expensive interest rates in all of Spain. Rents are unaffordable for the majority of citizens, who are forced to share a house and, those who were able to buy a home, had to pay the highest mortgage in history: 1,097.9 euros per month on average, the most expensive figure in the entire state. These are statistical data that the Association of Property Registrars has made public a few days ago. The average Spanish mortgage is 646.7 euros, so the citizens of the Balearic Islands pay 70% more mortgages for the purchase of their flats than the Spanish average.
