Real estate is property made up of land and the buildings on it, as well as the natural resources includingcultivated farmed crops and livestock, water and mineral deposits. Although it is referred to the real estate market, from the perspective of residential living, real estate can be grouped into four broad categories based on its uses. Residential, Commercial, industrial and Land. Examples of residential real estate include houses, condominiums and town houses, examples of commercial real estate are office buildings, warehouses and retail store buildings, examples of industrial real estate include factories, mines and farms, examplesland include vacant and developed land,
Residential Real Estate
This includes both new construction and Resale Homes. The most common category is Single Family Homes. There are also Condominiums, Co-ops, Townhouses, Duplexes, Triple Decker’s, High Value Homes and Vacation Homes.
Commercial Real Estate
This includes Shopping Centers and Strip Malls, Medical and Educational Buildings, Hotels and Offices. Apartment buildings are often considered commercial, even though they are used for residences. That's because they are owned to produce income.
Industrial Real Estate
This includes Manufacturing Buildings and property, as well as Warehouses. The buildings can be used for research, production, storage and distribution of goods. Some buildings that distribute goods are considered Commercial Real estate. The classification is important because the zoning, construction and sales are handled differently.
Land Real Estate
Land includes vacant land, working farms and ranches. The subcategories within vacant land include undeveloped, early development or reuse, subdivision and site assembly.
Real Estate Industry

Real Estate Impact on the U.S. Economy.
New Home Building is a critical category. It includes construction of single-family homes, townhouses and condominiums. The National Association of Home Builders provides monthly data on home sales and average prices. The data on new home sales is a leading economic indicator. It signals how the housing market will do in nine months. That is how long it takes to construct new homes. The NAHB also reports new home starts, those are the number of home construction projects on which ground is broken. For example, NAHB Construction Statistics.
Real estate agents assist homeowners, businesses and investors buy and sell all four types of properties. The industry is typically divided up into specialists that focus on one of the types.
Sellers' agents help find buyers through either the Multiple Listing Service or their professional contacts. They price your property, using comparative listings of recently sold properties known as comps. They can help you spruce up your property so it will look its best to customers.
They assist in negotiations with the buyer, helping you get the highest price possible. Here are more Sellers' agent Services.
Buyers' agents provide similar services for the home purchaser. They know the local market. That means they can find a property that meets your most important criteria. They also compare prices, called doing comps. It allows them to guide you to areas that are affordable. Buyers' agents negotiate for you, pointing out reasons why the seller should accept a lower price. They help with the legalities of the process, including title search, inspection and financing. Here are other buyers' agent services.
Real estate agents who want to increase their professionalism become Realtors. The National Association of Realtors publishes provides monthly reports on the number of homes sold and their average prices.
It's a better indicator of the health of the overall housing industry than new home construction. That's because new home builders can be overenthusiastic about future sales and overbuild. They can also cut prices to force sales. Individual homeowners must follow the market's supply and demand. They don't have the clout to manipulate the market. Here's more on the most recent Housing Market Statistics.
Despite all the benefits of investing in real estate, there are drawbacks. One of the main ones is the lack of liquidity (or the relative difficulty in converting an asset into cash and cash into an asset). Unlike a stock or bond transaction, which can be completed in seconds, a real estate transaction can take months to close. Even with the help of a broker, it can take a few weeks of work just to find the right counterparty.
Still, real estate is a distinct asset class that's simple to understand and can enhance the risk-and-return profile of an investor's portfolio. On its own, real estate offers cash flow, tax breaks, equity building, competitive risk-adjusted returns, and a hedge against inflation. Real estate can also enhance a portfolio by lowering volatility through diversification, whether you invest in physical properties or not.
