How to read these prices
These ranges are indicative new-build prices published on abraj.ma, based on the offers observed in each area. The lower end matches standard or outlying developments, the upper end the best-located recent buildings with amenities or a view. Resale homes can be negotiated below, depending on the building’s condition and the work needed. To follow overall price trends, the official reference is the residential property price index published by Bank Al-Maghrib and the land registry agency (ANCFCC). See the official price index.
What budget for which size?
As an illustration, excluding purchase costs, for the most affordable and the most sought-after area in the table:
| Size | Most affordable area (Salé · Sala Al Jadida · Bettana) | Most sought-after area (Hay Riad) |
|---|---|---|
| 60 m² | 360 000 – 600 000 MAD | 960 000 – 1 560 000 MAD |
| 90 m² | 540 000 – 900 000 MAD | 1 440 000 – 2 340 000 MAD |
| 120 m² | 720 000 – 1 200 000 MAD | 1 920 000 – 3 120 000 MAD |
Add around 4% registration duty as a general rule, 1.5% land registry fees plus fixed charges, and the notary’s fees: see the total budget of a purchase and notary fees.
What makes prices vary
- Floor, view and orientation
- Age and upkeep of the building
- Residence amenities (pool, security, parking)
- Proximity to transport, schools and shops
- Size: small units often cost more per m²
- Legal status: a titled, compliant property sells better
Choosing the right district
The Rabat-Salé tramway and Rabat-Agdal station, served by the high-speed train, matter in the choice. Hay Riad and Agdal suit a comfortable urban life, Souissi those who want space, Harhoura the seaside, Témara and Salé a tighter budget.
Buy now or wait?
Nobody can predict the bottom of a market. The right time is when your budget is clear, your financing assessed and your district chosen. For a first new home, check your eligibility for the Daam Sakane housing aid, which reduces the amount to finance by MAD 70,000 or 100,000 depending on the price of the home. Then negotiate on the basis of comparable sales, not asking prices.
