Hi Wils & Nance

That is indeed correct for Fuerteventura and Lanzarote (especially) building permits were limited and were given out to limit the development of the islands. That doesn't mean there is no more building works or that properties are limited (yet!), it means that the rich developers applied for licences on land that shows nothing at the moment but only they can build on in the future, a good example of this is Corralejo that has seen rapid growth in the last 5 years on land to the South of the town where there was previously no development!
I love the fact the both Fuerteventura and Lanzarote have a sustainable development plan and when visiting parts of the mainland where there are 100s of houses for sale it is easy to understand where they learnt their ideas from.
Where did you end up moving to then?
