Definition
Real estate or real property, including land and buildings. The business of buying and selling real property.
Etymology
Shortened form of 'reality,' from Medieval Latin 'realitas' meaning 'actual existence.' In legal contexts, 'realty' distinguished real property (land, immovable) from personal property (movable goods). The business sense developed in American English.
Kelly Says
The word 'realty' reflects humanity's fundamental relationship with land ownership - what could be more 'real' than the ground beneath our feet? This connection between reality and real estate shows how deeply property ownership is embedded in our concept of substantial, lasting value.
