Property prices in Semlalia, Marrakech
Semlalia shows a stable asking price per sqm over the tracked period, with large properties for sale and a listing duration noticeably longer than most comparable neighbourhoods in Marrakech.
Semlalia is one of the residential neighbourhoods in Marrakech covered by Dar Invest. The volume of sale listings there is more limited than in other parts of the city, which makes each monthly reading useful for tracking market trends. This article presents data from the latest available month and places it in the context of Marrakech neighbourhoods with reliable data.
How to read the figures in this article
Two concepts appear throughout the sections below.
Price per square metre. The listed price of a property is divided by its area. An apartment of 100 sqm listed at 1,000,000 MAD works out to 10,000 MAD per square metre. This unit allows properties of very different sizes to be compared on the same basis.
The median. This is the value that splits listings into two equal halves: half of the properties are listed above it, the other half below. It is less sensitive to atypical properties than an average, and better describes what a buyer encounters in their search.

Listing duration
The median listing duration measures how long a listing remains visible online before disappearing. A short duration indicates that properties leave the platforms quickly. A longer duration generally leaves more room to negotiate, although a listing that disappears is not necessarily a sale: the seller may have withdrawn it, reposted it under a different title, or abandoned it without finding a buyer.
| Month | Median time on market, in days |
|---|---|
| March 2026 | 12 |
| April 2026 | 12 |
| May 2026 | 12 |
| June 2026 | 14 |
| July 2026 | 14 |
| August 2026 | 19 |
| September 2026 | 19 |
In Semlalia, the median listing duration is noticeably longer than in Gueliz, Route de Casablanca, Hivernage, and Palmeraie. This signal indicates that properties stay online longer in Semlalia than in those neighbourhoods, which may reflect softer demand or asking prices that the market is slow to validate.
Listing volume
| Month | Number of listings, per month |
|---|---|
| March 2026 | 31 |
| April 2026 | 44 |
| May 2026 | 39 |
| June 2026 | 46 |
| July 2026 | 44 |
| August 2026 | 34 |
| September 2026 | 60 |
The low volume of listings in Semlalia is worth keeping in mind: each month, the medians rest on a limited number of observations. A month-on-month variation may reflect the composition of the stock as much as any real price movement.
For an MRE buyer
Semlalia has several characteristics worth knowing before starting a search.
Properties for sale are large, noticeably bigger than in neighbourhoods such as Gueliz or Route de Casablanca. For a buyer looking for a spacious home, the neighbourhood therefore offers a suitable choice, at a price per sqm below Hivernage and Gueliz.
The noticeably longer listing duration than elsewhere suggests that sellers wait longer before finding a buyer. In this context, negotiating on the listed price is a realistic option, even if nothing guarantees the seller will be open to it.
Listing volume remains limited. A buyer targeting Semlalia should expect a restricted choice at any given time, and may need to monitor the market over several months to find a property matching their criteria.
Finally, rental data for Semlalia do not exceed our reliability threshold. It is therefore not possible to calculate a reliable gross rental yield for this neighbourhood from current data. A buyer considering a rental investment may refer to the data available for Hivernage or Route de Casablanca, two neighbourhoods for which rental data exist.
What these figures do not resolve
Three limitations apply before drawing any conclusion about a purchase.
Asking prices, not transaction prices. All values cited here are prices listed by sellers. The gap between the asking price and the price actually paid — that is, the negotiation — does not appear anywhere in this data.
Limited volume. The number of listings retained for Semlalia is low. Monthly medians can vary from one month to the next due to changes in stock composition rather than any underlying trend. The time series helps to distinguish between the two.
Internal heterogeneity. A neighbourhood is not homogeneous. Properties located in the same area can differ noticeably from the median depending on their condition, floor, layout, or aspect. The figures in this article describe a central tendency, not a guaranteed price for any specific property.
