Buying a new apartment in Casablanca in 2026: districts, prices and steps

Buying a new apartment in Casablanca means recent standards, brand-new common areas and, for a first home, the Daam Sakane housing aid within its price caps. It also means accepting a construction schedule and checking the developer carefully. This guide brings together the districts where developments are built, indicative prices and the steps to follow.

Daam Sakane: how far does the aid go?

For a first new home bought from a developer as a main residence, the aid is MAD 100,000 up to MAD 300,000 including VAT and MAD 70,000 between MAD 300,000 and 700,000. In Casablanca, this cap mainly matches small and medium units in the most affordable areas. See the detailed conditions.

Living abroad?

Moroccans living abroad can buy off-plan in Casablanca remotely: reservation and preliminary contract by power of attorney, payments by transfer from abroad to a convertible dirham account, and the Daam Sakane aid if they meet the conditions. See buying from abroad.

New build or resale in Casablanca?

New builds often cost more per m² than resale homes, but they need less work, offer better insulation and recent common areas, and qualify for the Daam Sakane aid for a first home. Resale homes, often better located, are more negotiable. Compare the total cost over ten years, including work and service charges, with our guide new or resale.

Choosing the right unit

Within the same development, two apartments of the same size do not have the same value: floor, orientation, overlooking, street noise, parking space and service charges change comfort and resale value. Ask for the site plan, locate your unit and read how to choose floor and orientation.

FAQ

What budget for a new two-bedroom home in Casablanca?

Using the indicative ranges in the table, a 90 m² two-bedroom home ranges from about MAD 630 000 in the most affordable area to MAD 3 150 000 in the most sought-after, before costs.

Can you negotiate the price of a new build?

Sometimes, especially at the end of sales or on options; get everything in writing in the contract.

What costs come on top of the price?

Around 4% registration duty as a general rule, 1.5% land registry fees plus fixed charges, and the notary’s fees.

How long from reservation to keys?

Often one to three years depending on construction progress; check the planned date and late-delivery penalties.

Is parking included in the price?

Not always. Check whether the space is included or sold separately, and whether it is a separate unit with its own land title.
