General Real Estate

Real Estate is the legal term referring to land, along with any improvements such as buildings, walls, fences and other site improvements that are permanent in nature (ie immovable). The buying and selling of Real Estate has been a cornerstone of the global economy for centuries. In fact, for many years, real estate was considered the safest investment that money could buy. No one was making more land, and housing prices continued to climb at respectable rates.

Home ownership remained part of the cornerstone of people’s dreams and there seemed to be no end in sight to the benefits that the Real Estate Industry offered.

Then the unimaginable happened: the housing bubble burst.

Banks faced a wave of mortgage defaults. Homeowners saw the values of their homes plummet, some dropping more than fifty percent over the course of two years. Mortgage-backed securities became ‘toxic assets’, home equity loans drove some mortgages ‘underwater’. In short, the entire face of the industry changed, and the reverberations of those changes can still be felt today. With possible changes to government oversight regulating home mortgage lending, securitization of assets and other related industries to Real Estate itself, understanding where the Real Estate Industry is going is invaluable.
