Spanish Housing Crisis Exposed: TikTok Video Reveals Stark Morocco-Spain Property Price Gap

The comparison, presented by the agent, revolves around several budget levels. For 50,000 euros, the video indicates that one can acquire an 80 m² apartment with a balcony in Tétouan, Morocco, while this amount in Spain would only allow the purchase of a storage room in Barcelona or a double parking space in Madrid.

With a budget of 100,000 euros, the real estate agent shows that it is possible to buy a duplex near the sea in Agadir. In contrast, in the Barcelona region, the same amount would correspond to a 28 m² apartment located in the suburbs of L’Hospitalet.

The gap widens further at 150,000 euros. This budget would allow the ownership of a 140 m² villa with a garden in Rabat, while in Spain, it would provide access to an apartment in Badalona, not equipped with an elevator. For 200,000 euros, the video compares a penthouse with a sea view in Casablanca to a 60 m² apartment requiring significant renovations in the El Raval neighborhood of Barcelona.

The dissemination of this video has generated a wide debate among users of the platform, in a context of a housing crisis and stagnant wages in Spain. Many comments have expressed an "illogical explosion" of Spanish real estate prices and a decline in purchasing power. However, other participants have nuanced the comparison, noting that the average income in Morocco is significantly lower, making home ownership also difficult for Moroccans.
