Tunisian Real Estate Market Sees Significant Price Disparities
The price per square meter in La Marsa and Gammarth can reach up to 12,000 dinars for high-end constructions. In other popular neighborhoods of Greater Tunis, it averages around 8,000 dinars, while the national average for comfortable apartments ranges between 3,500 and 4,500 dinars. These figures, provided by Mohsen Chaâbani, president of the Groupement professionnel des agences immobilières (GPAI), highlight the significant disparities in the Tunisian real estate market.
During a radio intervention, Chaâbani emphasized the need for strengthened regulation to better protect investors and sanitize the market. He recalled that the Ministry of Commerce, in collaboration with relevant authorities, is working to identify and control unauthorized agencies, a crucial step in professionalizing the sector.
Call for a Higher Authority to Regulate the Real Estate Market
The president of the GPAI also advocated for the creation of a higher authority to regulate the real estate market, responsible for supervising transactions and establishing a climate of trust. According to him, the market's vulnerability makes it urgent to establish clear rules and adapted governance.
Real Estate Market Performance
In 2022, 671,000 real estate transactions were recorded, with an estimated annual growth rate of 2-3%. Regarding prices, Chaâbani specified that the real increase in the first half of 2025 did not exceed 1-2%, contradicting the figures of 4-7% published by some specialized sites.
