'Real' estate or 'real' property refers to the existing, true and tangible nature of the investment class. Real estate is one of the oldest stores of value, alongside such capital investments as livestock and gold.

Broadly, real estate is usually classed either as residential or as commercial in nature. Residential real estate refers to houses, units, apartments and even properties like private parking spaces and marina berths. Commercial real estate on the other hand refers to shops, offices, factories and warehouses (the latter two are commonly described as 'industrial' real estate, which is a subset of commercial real estate).
