Maarif, Gauthier, Racine: stable golden triangle
The Maarif-Gauthier-Racine triangle, historic heart of the Casablanca bourgeoisie, shows great stability with prices of 22,500-26,800 MAD/sqm (median 24,500 MAD/sqm, +1.2% over 1 year). Maarif Extension (Boulevard Brahim Roudani axis) attracts young executives with new 3-room 110 sqm apartments between 2.6 and 3 M MAD. Gauthier (quiet residential zone, proximity to Renaissance and Massignon private schools) maintains its appeal among Moroccan executive families: 24-27,000 MAD/sqm for the beautiful co-ownerships of the 2010-2020 years.
Sidi Maarouf, Aïn Sebaa, Hay Hassani: accessibility and tramway
Sidi Maarouf, having become Greater Casablanca's main residential basin, offers new apartments between 10,500 and 13,800 MAD/sqm depending on the exact zone (Sidi Maarouf Plateau, Sidi Maarouf Park, Errahma). The proximity of Casanearshore (50,000 tech and BPO employees) and the T4 tramway line make it the #1 target of young executives aged 25-40. Increase of +5.2% over 1 year, median 12,200 MAD/sqm.
Real estate credit: 5.8-6.2% rates weigh on demand
The Bank Al-Maghrib policy rate increase (raised to 2.75% in May 2026) was quickly transmitted to real estate credit rates: 5.8% to 6.2% for a 25-year loan with 20% down payment, versus 4.2-4.8% in 2023. On a 1 M MAD loan over 25 years, the monthly payment goes from 5,770 MAD (at 4.5%) to 6,380 MAD (at 5.8%), i.e. +610 MAD/month and +183,000 MAD in total cost. This is the equivalent of a real estate purchasing power loss of 12-15%.
