Q: What is real estate?

A: Real estate (also called "real property") is a term for land and improvements to that land, such as buildings and infrastructure. Commercial real estate can include factories and equipment as well as other improvements. Resources such as minerals or petroleum below the ground are part of real estate. These resources or the rights to extract them can be sold individually.
