Apartments for sale in Agadir: how to choose well and buy in 2026

Are you looking for an apartment for sale in Agadir? The market you will find is coming out of a very contrasted first half of 2026. According to the real estate asset price index published by Bank Al-Maghrib and the Land Registry (ANCFCC), apartment prices in Agadir fell 1.2% in the first quarter, with sales down 49.1%, then rose 0.9% in the second quarter, with sales up 32.3%.

In other words, apartment prices stayed at roughly the same level, but the pace of transactions varied sharply. For a buyer, this is useful information: a market that moves more slowly generally leaves more time to compare and more room to discuss the price.

This article covers the latest figures, the neighbourhoods to search for an apartment, the criteria to set before viewings, the steps of the purchase and the precautions specific to a buyer who lives outside Morocco.

The apartment market in Agadir in 2026

What the official indices say

The Bank Al-Maghrib and ANCFCC index tracks, city by city, the change in prices and in the number of sales recorded at the Land Registry. For Agadir, the first two quarters of 2026 give this:

• Q1 2026: apartment prices down 1.2%, sales down 49.1%; for all property in the city, prices down 0.3% and transactions down 51.4%.
• Q2 2026: apartment prices up 0.9%, sales up 32.3%; for all property, prices almost stable (-0.1%) and transactions up 30.1%.

For comparison, the national index rose 0.7% in the second quarter, including 1% for residential. Agadir apartments therefore roughly follow the country's trend.

Stable prices, seasonal demand

Sales fell at the start of the year without prices following: the local press sums up the situation as a market that is "moving much more slowly" without correcting in value. The spring recovery did not make apartment prices soar either.

Another factor weighs on the market: seasonal rental. In high season, furnished apartments can rent for up to 1,500 dirhams per day, according to a Bladi.net article from August 2026. This tourist demand explains why part of the supply, especially near the beach, is designed for holiday rental rather than year-round living.

The neighbourhoods to search for an apartment in Agadir

Agadir is a sprawling city, rebuilt after the 1960 earthquake, and the neighbourhoods do not offer the same properties at all. Here are the main areas, with the profile the city page gives them:

• Founty and Sonaba: upmarket seafront area, close to the French lycée of Agadir and the Marjane shopping centre; properties there are more expensive.
• Marina d'Agadir: seaside and modern, with ocean views, restaurants and leisure on foot; in high demand for high-end furnished lets.
• Haut Founty: residential and quiet, a good balance between standing and affordability.
• Talborjt: central and lively neighbourhood, with modern apartments in residential buildings, near shops.
• Hay Mohammadi: popular residential area, good value for money, suited to families on a controlled budget.
• Tilila and Hay Salam: modern, quiet residential neighbourhoods, with affordable prices.
• Bensergao and Dakhla: family-oriented, quiet, a little off-centre, with more spacious homes.

The choice of neighbourhood depends mainly on what the property will be used for. An apartment to live in year-round is best sought where the schools, shops and services are; a holiday pied-à-terre, rather near the corniche and the Marina, knowing that competition from seasonal rentals is strong there.

Setting your criteria before viewings

Before looking at listings, set a short, ranked list. It will save you time and spare you from viewing properties that do not suit.

• The use: main residence, second home or property intended for rental. The use guides the neighbourhood, the size and the type of building.
• The full budget: price of the property, acquisition costs (registration duties, registration at the Land Registry, notary fees), any works and furnishing. Ask the notary for a precise breakdown before committing.
• The surface area and number of bedrooms, with resale in mind: the easiest properties to resell are often those that match the most common demand in the neighbourhood.
• The building: caretaker, lift, pool, parking. These facilities carry an annual building management cost that you need to know before signing.
• The floor, orientation and noise, to be checked on the spot and, if possible, at two times of the day.

The steps of buying an apartment in Agadir

1. Search and view

Listings are found on the major Moroccan portals and with local agencies. Always view the property in person or have it viewed by someone you trust: a listing may be old, inaccurate or not show the real condition of the common areas. During the viewing, look at the walls, ceilings, joinery, damp, plumbing and electrics, and ask what work has been done recently.

2. Check the property and the seller

Before any offer, ask for the land title reference and have the Land Registry check that the seller really is the owner and that the property carries no encumbrance. In a residential building, also ask for the co-ownership rules, the amount of the charges and the situation of any unpaid sums. For a new-build, have the delivery schedule and the specifications set out in writing.

3. Negotiate

The listed price is not necessarily the final price. After a start to the year when sales were halved, a reasoned offer (works to be done, comparison with neighbouring properties, time on the market) is more likely to be heard. Index movements remain small for apartments: do not count on a general fall, but on negotiating case by case.

4. Sign at the notary

The deed of sale is signed at a notary, who checks the legal situation of the property, collects the price and handles registration and the entry at the Land Registry. Ask them from the start for the list of documents to provide and the total amount of the costs.

Buying from abroad: the question of financing

A foreigner or a Moroccan residing abroad can buy an apartment in Morocco. One point is however worth settling before signing: how the money arrives. According to the 2026 General Instruction on Foreign Exchange Transactions, recalled by Bladi.net in September 2026, the proceeds of a resale, capital gain included, can be freely repatriated provided the purchase was financed in foreign currency.

• Open a foreign-currency or convertible-dirham account, which can receive transfers from abroad.
• Route the funds through this account and keep all the bank supporting documents.
• Avoid paying from an ordinary dirham account: the property remains yours, but the freedom to transfer funds on resale is no longer guaranteed.

Renting the apartment out once bought

If you plan to let the property year-round, a few benchmarks from the city page: a studio in a residential neighbourhood like Hay Mohammadi or Tilila rents from about MAD 3,800 per month, a two-room flat between MAD 5,000 and 7,500, and a two- to three-bedroom apartment in Founty or the Marina between MAD 9,000 and 13,000 (2024-2025 listings). A written lease is compulsory for any rental of more than thirty days (law no. 67-12) and the security deposit is capped at two months' rent. Building management charges and water and electricity bills are generally paid by the tenant.

Getting support on the ground

Buying remotely means multiplying viewings, checks and exchanges with the seller, the agency and the notary. Remoters puts you in touch with a home finder based in Agadir, who searches for apartments according to your criteria, visits them for you, checks the documents and supports you through to signing. The first conversation and the quote are free.
