What is the real estate sector?
The real estate sector covers lots of businesses involved in developing, maintaining, selling, or letting land or property.
The residential subsector focuses on buying and selling properties for housing. The commercial subsector consists of real estate used for business like offices, retail and hotels. The industrial subsector includes properties used for manufacturing and production, like factories and warehouses.
The real estate sector is cyclical. That means demand and performance tend to ebb and flow along with the health of the broader economy.
