Real estate, also known as real property, is a term which generally denotes:
- land,
- structures on the land which cannot easily be relocated (a house generally would be considered real estate, while a travel trailer -- even if used as a residence -- would not), and
- attachments to the structure which cannot easily be removed without major damage or making the structure useless (a central HVAC unit would be considered part of real estate, while a window air conditioner or space heater would not).
Real estate generally is subject to property tax, and although it is possible to sell real estate without using a real estate agent, the majority of real estate transactions are handled via real estate agents.
