California Real Estate Practice Exam

Which of the following is NOT real property?

1. Giant redwood tree growing in yard

2. None of the above

3. Owner has removed fence, stacking the wood on the ground

4. Stock in mutual water company

The correct answer is: Giant redwood tree growing in yard

Real property refers to land and anything permanently attached to it. In this case, a giant redwood tree growing in the yard would be considered real property because it is attached to the land and is not something that can be easily removed without causing damage. The tree is a part of the real estate parcel. Option C mentions the owner removing a fence and stacking the wood on the ground. This is an example of personal property since the fence was not permanently attached to the land but was instead removed by the owner. This distinguishes it from real property. Option D, stock in a mutual water company, is also an example of personal property since it represents ownership in a company and is not directly tied to the land itself. Therefore, option A (a giant redwood tree growing in the yard) is the correct answer as it is a part of real property, while the other options are not considered real property.
