real estate Hi,
could you please tell me whether it is possible to use the word "real estate" in plural? If we are talking about several houses or lands, do we still say "the real estate is" or "the real estates are"?
Thank you very much.

Threadstarter / Original Poster Re: real estate Great
But if I wanted to use "real estate" then which is better for several items - singular or plural?
