Real estate is a legal term (in some jurisdictions, such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, USA and The Bahamas) that encompasses land along with improvements to the land, such as buildings, fences, wells and other site improvements that are fixed in location―immovable Real estate law is the body of regulations and legal codes which pertain to such matters under a particular jurisdiction and include things such as commercial and residential real property transactions. Real estate is usually considered synonymous with real property (sometimes called realty), in contrast with personal property (sometimes called chattel or personalty under chattel law or personal property law).
In some circustances the term "real estate" aludes to the land and fixtures together, as distinguished from "real property", referring to ownership of land and appurtenances, including anything of a permanent nature such as structures, trees, minerals, and the interest, benefits, and inherent rights thereof. Real property is generally considered to be Immovable property The terms real estate and real property are used first and foremost in common law, while civil law jurisdictions refer instead to immovable property.
Some people have claimed that the word real in this sense is descended (like French royal and Spanish real) from the Latin word for 'king'. In the feudal system (which has left many traces in the common law) the king was the owner of all land, and everybody who occupied land paid him rent directly or indirectly (through lords who in turn paid the king), in money, goods or services (including military service). Property tax, paid to the state, can be seen as a relic of that system, as is the term fee simple. , this derivation of real is a misconception.
