Casablanca- In December, the interest rates applied by Afdal.ma partners do not deviate from the current trend and stand at 4.50% over 15 years and 4.75% for longer terms for borrowers with solid profiles. This stability in interest rates comes as welcome news for aspiring homeowners, providing them with a sense of reassurance amidst economic uncertainties. As the housing market navigates through fluctuations, the consistent rates offer stability and encourage potential buyers to explore their homeownership options.

Throughout 2023, there were apprehensions regarding a potential surge in real estate rates following multiple increases in the key rate in 2022. However, these fears did not materialize, and the rates offered by Afdal.ma’s partner banks remained stable. This consistency in rates has been observed over several months, reflecting a resilient real estate market that adapts to changing economic conditions while maintaining its attractiveness to potential buyers.

In December, the rates continued to align with this trend, with banks providing loans at 4.50% over periods of 8 to 15 years for borrowers with strong profiles, and at 4.75% for longer durations. These competitive rates empower individuals with varying financial capabilities to pursue their homeownership aspirations, contributing to the overall stability and growth of the real estate sector.

The rates are particularly favorable for loans of less than 250,000 DH, where borrowers can benefit from a maximum period of 15 years at 4.50%, and at 4.75% for amounts beyond that. This pricing structure extends to loans up to 500,000 DH, ensuring accessibility and affordability for a wide range of prospective homeowners.

However, it’s worth noting that Afdal.ma data reveals a slight uptick in rates for loans ranging from 500,000 to 800,000 DH over periods of 16 to 25 years. Despite this minor increase, rates remain largely stable for more substantial loan amounts, reaching up to 3 million DH over the same durations. This variance in rates underscores the flexibility of the real estate market, accommodating the diverse financial needs of potential buyers.

While the stability of interest rates has provided a sense of security for borrowers, the overall performance of the real estate market in 2023 was mixed, with a decline in transactions. The market dynamics shifted in response to various factors, including economic uncertainties and external challenges. However, the real estate sector demonstrated resilience, rebounding to pre-pandemic levels and maintaining its position as a key driver of economic activity.

Looking ahead to 2024, the outlook remains uncertain as the economy continues to evolve. Factors such as inflation and interest rate behavior will continue to influence the demand for real estate loans in the coming months. Despite potential fluctuations, the current trend of stable interest rates is expected to persist, providing aspiring homeowners with continued access to favorable conditions.

Moreover, the availability of housing assistance programs offers additional support to potential buyers, stimulating demand and further bolstering the real estate market. As individuals explore their homeownership options, these initiatives play a crucial role in enhancing affordability and driving growth in the housing sector.

while uncertainties persist in the broader economic landscape, the stability of real estate rates offers a ray of hope for aspiring homeowners in Morocco. With favorable conditions and supportive initiatives in place, the real estate market remains resilient and poised for continued growth in the year ahead.
