Prices on the rise: is now the ideal time to invest in real estate in Morocco?

The residential sector is emerging as the driving force behind this momentum, recording a 1.5% appreciation in the quarter. The appetite of buyers was particularly evident in the apartment and house segments, with sales up 15.7% and 19.3% respectively. While the volume of villa transactions also increased, it is the only type of property to show a slight price correction, with a 0.8% decline in value.

Commercial and land activity is following this upward trend. Land prices appreciated by 1.3%, while professional-use assets saw a more moderate increase of 0.3%. However, it is on the volume of activity that this last segment is most impressive: year-on-year, professional property transactions have exploded by 56.2%, indicating a clear resurgence of investment and confidence on the part of economic players.

Regional disparities remain pronounced, with Rabat emerging as the top performer in the Kingdom. The administrative capital has seen its prices rise by 3.2% and its transactions soar by 27.4%. Casablanca and Tangier are also showing remarkable health, with a strong increase in sales volumes, unlike Marrakech, which, despite a slight increase in prices, is the only major metropolis to record a decline in its transaction activity during the period.
