Sales across Mallorca fell by 0.5% over the same period, making Capdepera’s drop 19.1 percentage points steeper. Buyers and sellers saw substantially fewer completed local transactions than in the preceding year. The latest total also stands below Capdepera’s 2016 level of 256 sales and its 2021 peak of 332.
The rental level gives Capdepera a different position among Mallorca’s municipalities. In 2024, its flat existing-contract rent median was €8.31 per m², 16.3% above the €7.14 per m² middle level of the island’s municipalities. Capdepera ranked ninth among 43 municipalities on that flat measure. Its 15 localities include Capdepera, Cala Rajada, Canyamel Platja and Font de Sa Cala. For renters and landlords, the municipal comparison places flat existing-contract rents clearly above the middle level.
Property sales in Capdepera
Capdepera’s sales history has included sharp changes in transaction volume. From 256 sales in 2016, the count rose to 319 in 2019 before falling to 179 in 2020, the series low. It then rebounded to a series peak of 332 in 2021. For buyers and sellers, those swings establish the scale of earlier changes in completed local deals.
Following that peak, sales eased to 302 in 2022 and 261 in 2023. They rose to 286 in 2024, then fell to 230 in 2025. The latest total is above the 2020 low and well below the 2021 peak. Its 19.6% annual decline was markedly steeper than Mallorca’s 0.5% decline over the same years. The result is a local market with fewer completed transactions than in the preceding year, after a brief recovery in sales volume.

Calculate closing costs
Explanation
The purchase price stated in the deed. If it is below the cadastral reference value, ATIB taxes the higher value.

Mallorca IBI calculator
Explanation
The municipality sets the rate. IBI is a municipal tax: the same cadastral value costs considerably more in one town than in the next, because each one fixes its own rate in its tax bylaw (ordenanza fiscal).
Explanation
The valor catastral is the official value the Spanish land registry office (Catastro) sets for your property — land and building together. It is not the purchase price, not the market value and not the valor de referencia, and it normally sits well below all of them. You will find it on your last IBI bill and in the cadastral portal.

- €840.60
Calculated from the cadastral value. The bill is calculated on the reduced taxable base (base liquidable); where a revaluation is running, it comes out lower. Reductions and exemptions are not included.
Applies to this one cadastral unit and a full tax year. Not included: apportionment in the year of purchase, co-ownership shares, reductions and exemptions. A garage and a storeroom often have a cadastral reference of their own — then you calculate them separately.
That works out at €70.05 a month
The statutory range for this class of property runs from 0.400% to 1.100%; municipalities may go above or below it in certain cases (Art. 72(3) and (5)).
