Real estate refers to land and any property or structures that are permanently attached to it. This can include houses, apartments, commercial buildings, and vacant land. Real estate is typically bought, sold, and leased through a real estate agent or broker.

The real estate market is influenced by various factors such as supply and demand, economic conditions, interest rates, and government policies. The value of real estate can also appreciate or depreciate over time.

Investing in real estate can be a way to generate income through rental properties or by buying and selling properties for a profit. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) allow individuals to invest in real estate portfolios without directly owning properties.

Real estate agents help individuals buy, sell, and rent properties by providing services such as property listings, market analysis, and negotiating deals. They earn a commission on the sale or lease of a property.

Real estate development involves the acquisition, financing, and construction of new properties. Developers may build residential, commercial, or mixed-use developments, and often work with architects, contractors, and investors to bring projects to fruition.
