The cost of a dorm room in Palma is 390.71 euros per month, which makes the city the fifth most expensive provincial capital of Spain, according to a study by Pisos.
The real estate portal reports that the average rent in the country decreased by 0.60% in 2021 compared to 2020, or rather from 270.79 euros to 270.49 euros per month.
In addition, it was noted that the outbreak of the pandemic forced many students to leave their dormitories and return to their parents' home, which also had an impact on the housing market.
Thus, distance learning has led to the fact that other tenants, for example, families, began to rent housing in some of these properties.
