The brutal demand for housing in Palma: 50 families compete for each rental advertisement
According to Francisco Iñareta, spokesperson for idealista, “the number of families competing for each rental home does not stop growing, which shows the effects of the destruction of supply that all the political measures adopted in the last 6 years are causing. With hardly any housing on the market, the possibilities of accessing a rental are drastically reduced, making it especially complicated for young people and vulnerable groups. Furthermore, it is undeniable that this situation and the castings that potential tenants have to overcome, competing against dozens of families, generate situations of anxiety and frustration.
Reversing this situation in a realistic way should be the focus of rental policies, through measures that increase supply instead of those that are being applied at the moment, which only manage to reduce it more and more."
The last 12 months, in which the Housing Law has been in force, have accelerated the tension suffered by families in search of rental housing. In Spain the growth has been 55%, increasing in all capitals except Cuenca (-13%) and Teruel (-5%).
Among the large markets, Barcelona is the one that has registered the greatest increase in interested parties in each advertisement, with 100% more than a year ago. This is followed by increases in Bilbao (97%), Seville (70%), Madrid (60%), San Sebastián (49%), Alicante (48%), Palma (32%), Valencia (21%) and Málaga ( 20%).
