Permenante Resident.

Hi, while i was in agadir for the past month or so,

there were many residences (flats type) for 200,000 - 500,000 dirhams. Some were very nice, although i was told you can buy in typical non tourist area 2 storey villas for that price and in some cases for as little as 50,000 dirhams for very basic types.

It may work out better to buy then rent to be honest,

i think these were advertised at 350,000 dirhams.

I do not have such a sum of money to buy a home at those prices but thanks so much.

You may find cheap place to buy or rent in nearby areas like immouran or taghazout.

We were in agadir for holiday in July, my husbands cousin says you can rent for about 150.00 americn dollars a month.  That's really cheap, compared to the states.

Hello Stephen, I don't know if you've moved by now; I'm an american who's lived winters in Taghazout area for 4 or 5 years now. The replies offering cheaper rents are closer to the mark although 150 dollars is a bit low. Of course, it would only make sense if you were in the area but we have a friend, Hassan, who is a native of the village and knows the houses for sale (or rent) in the mountain villages above Taghazout. (I say above cause it is on the coast. I know that he finds and sells fairly substantial houses, european style, with accomodations for well under 100k euros. Unfortunately, my friend cannot read or write and so I use my email for him. .. But that doesn't keep him from knowing the villages... he was raised therein. If you are in the area, or going to be, I'll leave you my email and should you respond, contact hassan for you.
As for a bank acct, you have to be a resident and that takes a min fixed income but I'm sure that doesn't pose a problem for you. In any case, here's my email: [email protected]. (I hasten to add I'm an academic, not a realtor, and do this to help him out; we met him renting ourselves.
