Evaluating property prices per square meter is the essential first step for home buyers and real estate investors in Morocco. Casablanca, the economic hub, and Marrakech, the world-renowned tourist destination, represent the two most dynamic markets in the country.
Here is the updated 2026 benchmark for average prices per square meter broken down by neighborhood.
1. Casablanca Real Estate Price per Sqm
Casablanca property prices vary significantly based on central location, transport links, and commercial infrastructure:
- Ultra-Prime Neighborhoods (22,000 to 35,000 MAD/sqm): Anfa, Racine, Gauthier, and Ain Diab. High-end luxury developments and proximity to the Corniche.
- Central Commercial Districts (14,000 to 20,000 MAD/sqm): Maârif, Bourgogne, Palmier, and Val Fleuri. Ideal for primary residences and long-term rentals.
- Expanding Suburbs (9,000 to 13,000 MAD/sqm): Bouskoura, Dar Bouazza, Sidi Maârif, and Errahma. Popular among families seeking gated communities with green spaces.
2. Marrakech Real Estate Price per Sqm
The Marrakech market is heavily driven by short-term holiday rental demand and interest from MREs and international expats:
- Hivernage & Guéliz (18,000 to 30,000 MAD/sqm): The modern city center with high demand for compact apartments suitable for short-term holiday lets (Airbnb style).
- Palmeraie & Ourika Road (15,000 to 25,000 MAD/sqm): Known for luxury villas, authentic riads, and gated resorts with pools.
- Targa, Agdal & Mhamid (8,500 to 13,500 MAD/sqm): Residential family districts offering great value per square meter.
