Which item is not real property?

• A. A parcel of land
• B. A house
• C. An appliance
• D. A condo unit

Answer: (C)

The main idea is the distinction between real property and personal property. Real property covers land and anything permanently attached to it or that stays with the land, including the land itself, buildings, and units in a building. A parcel of land and a house fit this category because they are fixed to the land. A condo unit is also real property since it represents an interest in real estate within a building. An appliance, on the other hand, is typically movable and not permanently attached to the land or structure, so it is considered personal property unless it’s a built-in fixture that’s permanently attached and designated as part of the property in a sale.
