Real Estate

Land plus anything permanently fixed to it, including buildings, sheds, and other items attached to the structure.

Investopedia Commentary

Unlike other investments, real estate is dramatically affected by the condition of the immediate area where the property is located. With the exception of a global recession, real estate is affected primarily by local factors.
