land and buildings as property
Land and buildings, seen as property that people can own, buy, or sell.
Verwendungsmuster:
[someone] owns [realty] / invest in [realty]
Häufiger Fehler:
Learners often confuse "realty" with "reality". "Realty" is about land and buildings as property, while "reality" means "the real world" or "the true situation." Another mistake is to use "realty" in everyday speech where native speakers normally say "real estate" instead.
Synonyme

real estate business or industry
The business of helping people buy, sell, or rent houses, land, and other buildings.
Verwendungsmuster:
