Price per m²

It strips out the effect of size, so you can compare areas fairly. A neighbourhood full of huge villas will naturally have a higher average asking price than one full of small apartments; price per m² lets you see which one is actually more expensive per square metre of living space.

A barrio is a neighbourhood within a town: a finer level of detail than the town itself. When a barrio doesn't have enough listings currently for sale to give a reliable figure, we show the wider town's typical price instead, marked "(town-level fallback)", rather than a shaky number based on too few listings.

We take the median price per m² across all current listings of that property type in the area, the middle value once they're sorted from lowest to highest. Median is less skewed by one or two unusually expensive or cheap listings than a simple average would be.

Villas, apartments and other property types are priced very differently even in the same location, so we calculate a separate figure for each property type within each area rather than blending them together.

It's calculated from the live listings currently on Mallorca's property websites, so the figures shift as prices change and listings come on and off the market.

Neither, consistently: it's a U-shape, not a straight line. Small properties usually cost more per m² (a premium for a compact, often central home), the middle size range is typically the cheapest per m², and it climbs again for the largest properties (a premium for space and exclusivity).
