Real Property vs Personal Property: What Are the Differences?

March 18, 2022 By Cade's Team Leave a Comment

Within most developed countries, home ownership correlates with having a higher average net worth. Within the U.S., those who own a home have an average net worth that is more than 10 times greater than those who don’t own a home ($1,099,070 vs. $95,560, respectively).

Homes, and all types of real estate for that matter, are real property, because they are connected to the earth.

If you’ve ever wondered about real property vs personal property, you’re not alone. It is essential to understand the difference, so you can better understand how the economy works.

So, what is the difference between real property vs personal property? Let’s dive in.

What Is Real Property?

Real property is defined as assets that are attached to the ground and the ground itself. It is called “real” because it is physical and we can see it.

An example of real property would be a plot of land with a house built on top of it. If you’re in the country, the fields you own and any outbuildings, barns, or stables are also considered real property.

Specifically, real property includes all physical items that can be integrated into or affixed to land, such as buildings, but also plants and crops, wells, dams, windmills, solar panels, ponds, mines, or roads, for example.

In most countries, property taxes are assessed on real property. So if you own land with or without buildings on it, it will most likely be taxed on an annual basis.

What Is Personal Property?

In contrast, personal property is anything you own that is not attached or affixed to the ground or a building. It is called “personal” because it be removed and taken with you anywhere that you go.

Clothing, jewelry, and vehicles are all considered personal property. If you were to leave your home tomorrow, anything you could take with you is personal property.

For most people, personal property represents only a fraction of their net worth. The reason for this is that it takes a lot of vehicles or appliances to add up to the financial valuation of a single home.

The amount of personal property that a person has is often dependent upon their disposable income, because you need to have cash flow to be able to acquire personal property.

Real Property vs Personal Property

As mentioned, the key difference between real property vs personal property is whether or not an item is removable.

More often than not, new wealth is often generated through real property—frequently through real estate.

This is because real estate tends to appreciate in value over long periods of time, and in some cases, it can produce cash flow (think rental real estate). Plus, real property is often used as collateral in order to acquire more real property or personal property over time.

If you are interested to learn more about how to buy real property , such as land or properties within your local market, then you’ll need to learn which way prices are trending.

In contrast, many types of personal property go down in value over time. Examples of this would be how clothing, cars, and furniture tend to go down in value each year that they are owned.

Of course, an exception to this generalization would be art. In many  cases, art can go up in value year over year.

Wealth Generation

As described above, real property includes land and items attached or integrated into it, while personal property is anything that you own which you could detach and take with you if you moved.

Real property vs. personal property is a fundamental aspect of how economies generate wealth. This is because real property is usually more valuable than personal property and it has a strong tendency to go up in value over time.

With anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-trans legislation on the With anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-trans legislation on the rise, I have enormous RESPECT for people for are taking action to support our communities. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Putting this into action are Dr @EricCervini, an author and historian, and his partner @Adam_Powell. Together they will be driving a bus full of banned #queerbooks across the U.S., starting this summer! 

I absolutely love this idea—and can't wait for them to swing by Virginia! 

From an article shared on XtraMagazine.com:

“With LGBTQ2S+ books under attack in the U.S. at record rates, author Eric Cervini and his boyfriend, actor Adam Powell, knew they wanted to take action. While others are organizing with protests, drag queen story hours, days of reading and other important acts of resistance, Cervini and Powell have their own spin on what to contribute to the movement—and that spin has wheels.

The pair are working on buying, then building, what they call the Rainbow Book Bus, a bookmobile carrying queer and trans books to small towns. 

After reaching their crowdfunding goal of USD $100,000 at the end of December, Cervini and Powell are now able to pay a specialized company to retrofit a school bus to become a beacon of queer literature. 

‘Our goal is to have at least an early version of it ready by Pride [in June],’ Cervini tells Xtra. ‘We want to have a bus that is converted—it may not be fully decked out, but it will be functioning as a travelling book shop/book fair—in the summer of 2023.’”

If you'd like them to visit your town, share it in comments! 🌈🚌

It was actually their 52nd, because we had to postpone it twice due to Covid! 🌊🏖🐟
