It's free real estate.
Bisjac:
you guys just dont know the fake estate market
Darth C3P0²:
My mom is a former real estate agent, and iirc, she said that real means that it is actual, and estate means house, which is a type of property. So actual, owned, property.
McJob:
Estate refers to property as owned by an individual. The real implies that the estate has actual market and legal value beyond the individual, such as a house, while possessions are not considered of any value by the same measurement.
Pastrey Crust:
There was an estate which was fake so someone made a real estate and sold it.
