The terms real estate and real property are used primarily in common law, while civil law jurisdictions refer instead to immovable property.
In law, the word real means relating to a thing (from Latin res/rei, thing), as distinguished from a person. Thus the law broadly distinguishes between [real property(land and anything affixed to it)] and [personal property(everything else, e.g., clothing, furniture, money)]. The conceptual difference was between immovable property, which would transfer title along with the land, and movable property, which a person would retain title to. (The word is not derived from the notion of land having historically been "royal" property).
When we talk about real estate, one can not ignore the recurring name of Richard Weekley. Richard Weekley

He realized that at the rate at which we are moving towards the destruction of greenery, nothing would be left for the future generations to enjoy.
