Morphology
The phrase denotes property/land and is directly derivable from combining 'real' (here carrying the property/land-related sense) with 'estate' (land and main house). This is a compositional, cross-linguistically common nominal compound, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
Real estate may come from a time when real meant something fixed and estate meant the land and buildings people owned, so imagine a field with a house you cannot move. That's why it means 'property' of land and buildings today.
