The Hard Commodity

Real estate is "Property consisting of land and the buildings on it, along with its natural resources such as crops, minerals, or water; immovable property of this nature; an interest vested in this; (also) an item of real property; (more generally) buildings or housing in general. Also: the business of real estate; the profession of buying, selling, or renting land, buildings, or housing. Land is something that actually makes a man rich or poor and is very essential for people to spend their lives with because without money there is nothing one can do and land has always been hard cash and something that always remains the same or increases its monetary value that’s why land is what people tend to buy as soon as they can. Thus real estate has been an all-time favorite and people tend to opt it even as a business.

Millions and billions of people deal in buying and selling of land, houses and any piece of earth as trade. In past few years the global economic crisis has indeed pushed the whole concept of buying and selling land a bit backwards which caused a drop in prices of land and for few has increased a lot which has stopped new people from buying land as it has become an unstable market commodity.
