Common mistake:
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.
Meaning
land and buildings as property
