Morocco Suspends Real Estate Price Guidelines to Boost Property Market

Among the strategies adopted to boost the real estate market, severely affected by the Covid-19 crisis, there is the suspension of the application of the real estate price reference framework, pending market stabilization. By making such a decision, the Directorate General of Taxes (DGI) hopes to promote real estate sales based on the prices prevailing on the market.

This suspension applies to all real estate sales whose deeds are drawn up from the start of the state of health emergency and which, until now, have not been subject to a regularization procedure. The DGI, in a press release, explains that "the search for the price at which a property can be transferred must be based on the actual data of a real estate market in a normal situation".

In a first step, explains the DGI, "a study of the transfer deeds at regular intervals must be carried out in order to monitor the evolution of the market". Then, "the specific characteristics of each property capable of having a significant impact on its value must be taken into account," the same source specifies.
