What buying in Manacor actually costs

At 2.881,6 €/m² appraisals are firmly in the expensive half of the country. 43,11 % of the housing stock is not a main residence, a genuinely mixed town. Manacor sits in the size class where Illes Balears property still trades on local knowledge more than on portals.

What the deed itself costs

At Manacor price levels the Balearic Islands transfer tax is worth several months of most household budgets, so it belongs in the offer, not after it. Balearic Islands charges transfer tax on a progressive scale rather than a single rate, starting at 8 % and rising through bands as the value goes up; the table below applies the scale bracket by bracket.

A stock split between residents and visitors

No rented share is available for Manacor: the census stops short of municipalities this size.

43,11 % of the Manacor stock is not a main residence, so resident and visitor demand compete for the same buildings.

The census put the total stock at 28.571 dwellings.

The recurring yearly cost

Land classed as rural is taxed at 0,638 %.

The typical Manacor home is on the register at 53.976 €, below the national middle.

At 0,628 %, the Manacor urban IBI rate is an ordinary one.

The arithmetic is 180.000 € at 0,628 %, or 1.130 € a year — on a register so old that the rate tells you little about the eventual bill.

The cadastral value in this example is a round illustrative figure, not the cadastral value of any particular property here. Ask for the last IBI receipt: it states the real one.

A cadastral register left untouched for decades

Renovation work carries a construction tax of 2 %, at the light end.

Manacor last revalued its cadastre in 1997, so today's rate is charged on a base from another era — the revision risk is real.

How many homes change hands

Set against 27.252 residential units on the register, turnover is slow.

492 home sales went through the notaries in Manacor in the year — a quiet market.

Second quarter carried far more deeds than Third quarter, so timing an offer against the calendar is worth something here.
