Real estate is the property, land, buildings, air rights above the land and underground rights below the land. The term real estate means real, or physical, property. “Real” comes from the Latin root “res”, or things. Others say it’s from the Latin word rex, meaning “royal,” since kings used to own all land in their kingdoms. These are the four types of real estate in Ethiopia:
Residential Real Estate
Residential real estate includes both new construction and resale homes. The most common category is single-family homes. There are also apartments, condominiums, co-ops, townhouses, duplexes, triple-deckers, quadplexes, high-value homes and vacation homes. Here’s more on residential real estate in Ethiopia.
Commercial Real Estate
Commercial real estate 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
Industrial real estate 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
Land includes vacant land, working farms, and ranches. The subcategories within vacant land include undeveloped, early development or reuse, subdivision and site assembly.
