Mallorca Property Market 2022 Forecast
What’s ahead for Mallorca property values in 2022?
Are you thinking of buying a property in Mallorca and wondering if 2022 is the year to do it? Banks are offering very low interest rates with high loan-to-value ratios (60%-100%), and the opportunity window is only temporary, as everything will depend on how fast social and economic life will return post-covid.
What sorts of properties are in demand, and how have housing trends changed over the past year and a half?
The home office trend has made buyers more flexible on location, and the most sought-after properties tend to value natural light, a convenient working area, and a garden. Before the pandemic buyers tended to prioritise living close to work or near a public transport connection, whereas today more are opting for larger properties away from the immediate center. Mallorca’s property portfolio focuses on these in-demand features, such as private gardens, sun orientation, beautiful views, and spacious layouts.

In 2020, the real estate market in Spain saw the opening of a new path with a high demand for rental properties and single-family terraced homes in the suburbs. However, the drop in house prices was expected due to the COVID-19 crisis and the debate of whether or not that would happen was taken to the streets.
It’s undeniable that the pandemic has brought uncertainty to the real estate market in Spain, something that will affect investors, buyers, and sellers throughout 2021. Foreigners interested in the Spanish real estate market can benefit from property prices forecast in Spain and that’s exactly what we will provide today.
The main thing to understand is that the pandemic has altered the expectations of house prices in Spain. If we look at the more recent models in October 2020, there’s a clear shift to the left in price distribution compared to the October 2019 models. That means that the projected house prices are lower.
Though foreign property sales dropped significantly during 2020, the summer of 2021 saw an increase in sales due to the positive impact of the pandemic. According to experts at Idealista, the average property price in Spain at the beginning of 2021 was 1,779 euros per square meter. That is 0.9 percent higher than the year before.
Property Prices Forecast in Spain in 2022
In 2021, property prices in Spain according to the S&P Global Ratings analysts and their reports would fall considerable. The decline of property prices in Spain ranged from 3 to 3.5 percent in the first term of 2021 and the property prices would fall before they gain stability once more in 2022.
Their studies and forecasts show that the property prices in Spain will fall by 6 to 9 percent and we see them return to pre-coronavirus indicators by 2024, not earlier. Simultaneously, the study and forecasts show that the real estate sector will have fewer losses compared to the 2008 crisis.
S&P Global Ratings has expressed a positive outlook by determining that the real estate market will be restored by the second half of 2022. Some experts are also optimistic about the property prices forecast in Spain in 2021. If mass vaccination is successful and the disease can be controlled, experts claim the real estate market can recover before the year ends.
Our property experts in Mallorca can confirm now that sales increased 20% in the second half of 2021 and prices increased in general.

The middle 50% of property values (the mid-tier) increased 2%, and the ‘low’ end of property values (the low tier) increased 1%
