What a buyer pays in Casablanca

The $2,211 figure is a local-market average across all residential property types: a flat in a prime district sits well above it, an older unit on the edge of the market well below. Buying costs — transfer tax or stamp duty, notary, registration and agency — come to about 10.3% of the price here. On a 100 m² apartment at the average price that is roughly $22,775 on top of the $221,120 purchase price. That is close to the 10.3% median across the set. Against the Morocco national average of $1,498, Casablanca carries a 47.6% premium — the gap between this market and the country as a whole. Among the other Morocco markets we track, Tangier at $1,731 is 27.7% cheaper.

What it earns

A square metre lets for about $12.0 a month. Against a purchase price of $2,211 per square metre that is 6.5% gross, before tax. Both figures come from the same source and the same period, so you can check the arithmetic yourself. It ranks 55th of 269 markets by gross yield. Rental income is taxed at 3.1–14.1% — the rate is not a single number here. That is the difference between 5.6% and 6.3% net on the same property. The 5.8% net figure we publish uses 11.3%.

How the tax works. Progressive: a 40% allowance on residential rental income, then the 2025 Finance Law scale (0% up to MAD 40,000, rising to 37%), which gives 3–14% across typical rent levels; the same scale applies to non-residents. The optional 20% flat rate on gross rent is worse at every typical level, and the 10–15% withholding applies only when the tenant is a company or keeps accounts — with a private tenant there is none.

Who can buy in Casablanca
